The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Acauã" by Luiz Gonzaga.
Lyrics
Acauã, acauã vive cantando
Durante o tempo do verão
No silêncio das tardes agourando
Chamando a seca pro sertão
Chamando a seca pro sertão
Acauã,
Acauã,
Teu canto é penoso e faz medo
Te cala acauã,
Que é pra chuva voltar cedo
Que é pra chuva voltar cedo
Toda noite no sertão
Canta o João Corta-Pau
A coruja, mãe da lua
A peitica e o bacurau
Na alegria do inverno
Canta sapo, gia e rã
Mas na tristeza da seca
Só se ouve acauã
Só se ouve acauã
Acauã, Acauã…
(Gracias a je por esta letra)
Lyrics translation
Acauã, acauã lives singing
During summer time
In the silence of the long-awaited afternoons
Calling the dry pro backcountry
Calling the dry pro backcountry
Acauã,
Acauã,
Your singing is painful and scary
Shut up here.,
That's for rain to come back early
That's for rain to come back early
Every night in the backcountry
Sing The Cock-cutter John
The owl, mother of the moon
The peitica is a bacurau
In the joy of winter
Sing frog, gia and frog
But in the sadness of drought
You only hear achauan
You only hear achauan
Achauã, Achauã…
(Thanks to je for this letter)
