Por ser de lá
Because I'm from there
Do sertão, lá do cerrado
From the backlands, from the cerrado
Lá do interior do mato
Deep in the woods
Da caatinga do roçado
From the caatinga to the countryside
Eu quase não saio
I almost don't go out
Eu quase não tenho amigos
I barely have any friends
Eu quase que não consigo
I almost can't
Ficar na cidade sem viver contrariado
Staying in the city without living in contradiction
Por ser de lá
Because I'm from there
Na certa por isso mesmo
Definitely that's why
Não gosto de cama mole
I don't like soft beds
Não sei comer sem torresmo
I don't know how to eat without pork rinds
Eu quase não falo
I almost don't talk
Eu quase não sei de nada
I almost don't know anything
Sou como rês desgarrada
I'm like a stray animal
Nessa multidão boiada caminhando a esmo
In this crowded crowd walking aimlessly
