Lyrics

Caboclo quando sai
Acorda o sol pela manhã
Planta algodão
Planta nuvens pelo chão
À noite, quando volta
Traz estrelas num bornal
Cofres do sertão
Que semeiam no quintal
Descendo do horizonte
Ele tira seu chapéu
Olhando um olho d'água
Que cuspia para o céu
Deitado na paisagem
Na folhagem enrolou
Pés de uma manhã
Passeando pela luz
O vento no seu rosto
Sopra leve, tira o sol
Como tira o pó
De um velho paletó
E pondo os pés na lama
Seu sapato feito só
De barro pra ser gasto
Quando então pisar na grama

Lyrics translation

Caboclo when you know
Wake up the sun in the morning
Plant cotton
Plant clouds by the ground
At night, when he comes back
Bring stars in a terminal
Backcountry safes
Sowing in the yard
Descending from the horizon
He takes off his hat
Looking at a water eye
That spits into the sky
Lying in the landscape
On the foliage curled
One morning feet
Strolling through the light
The wind on your face
Blow light, take out the sun
How to dust off
From an old jacket
And putting your feet in the mud
Your shoe made only
Of clay to be spent
When then step on the grass
