Lamento Sertanejo

Gilberto Gil Gilberto Gil

Country Lament

For being from there
From the backlands, from the savannah
From the countryside of the woods
From the scrubland of the small farm
I hardly ever go out
I hardly have friends
I hardly manage
To stay in the city without feeling upset

For being from there
Certainly for that reason
I don't like soft beds
I don't know how to eat without crackling
I hardly speak
I hardly know anything
I'm like a stray beast
In this aimlessly walking cattle herd
