Lyrics
Onde resiste o sertão
Toda casinha feliz
Ainda é vizinha de um riacho
Ainda tem seu pé de caramanchão
Onde resiste o sertão
Toda casinha feliz
Ainda cozinha no fogão de lenha
Ou fogareiro de carvão
De dia, Diadorim
De noite, estrela sem fim
É o Grande Sertão: Veredas
Reino da Jabuticaba
As minas de Guimarães Rosa
De ouro que não se acaba
Onde resiste o sertão
Toda casinha é feliz
Porque à tardinha tem Ave Maria
E o beijo da solidão
Lyrics translation
Where the hinterland resists
Every Happy Little House
It is still adjacent to a stream
Still has its Arbor foot
Where the hinterland resists
Every Happy Little House
Still cooking on the wood stove
Or coal stove
By day, Diadorim
Night, endless Star
It is the Great hinterland: paths
Kingdom of Jabuticaba
The mines of Guimarães Rosa
Of gold that does not end
Where the hinterland resists
Every little house is happy
Because in the afternoon there is Hail Mary
And the kiss of loneliness
