Lyrics
Eu fiz promessa, pra que Deus mandasse chuva
Pra crescer a minha roça e vingar a criação
Pois veio a seca, e matou meu cafezal
Matou todo o meu arroz e secou todo algodão
Nessa colheita, meu carro ficou parado
Minha boiada carreira, quase morre sem pastar
Eu fiz promessa, que o primeiro pingo d´água
Eu molhava a flor da santa, que tava em frete do altar
Eu esperei, uma semana o mês inteiro
A roça tava tão seca, dava pena até de ver
Olhava o céu, cada nuvem que passava
Eu da santa me alembrava, pra promessa não esquecer
Em pouco tempo, a roça ficou viçosa
A criação já pastava, floresceu meu cafezar
Fui na capela, e levei três pingos d´água
Um foi o pingo da chuva, dois caiu do meu olhar
Lyrics translation
I made a promise, so that God would send rain
To grow my garden and avenge the creation
For the drought came, and killed my coffee tree
Killed all my rice and dried all cotton
In that harvest, my car stood still
My boiada career, almost dies without grazing
I made promise, that the first Pingo dágua
I wet the flower of the saint, which was in freight of the altar
I waited, a week the whole month
The grove was so dry, it was too bad to see
I looked at the sky, every cloud that passed by
I da santa alembrava me, to promise not to forget
In a short time, the Grove became fruitful
The creation already grazed, flourished my coffee
I went to the chapel, and I took three drops of water
One was the drop of rain, two fell from my gaze
