《Procisso》歌词

[00:04:47] Olha lá vai passando a procissão

[00:04:47] Se arrastando que nem cobra pelo chão

[00:04:47] As pessoas que nela vão passando

[00:04:47] Acreditam nas coisas lá do céu

[00:04:47] As mulheres cantando tiram versos

[00:04:47] Os homens escutando tiram o chapéu

[00:04:47] Eles vivem penando aqui na terra

[00:04:47] Esperando o que Jesus prometeu

[00:04:47] E Jesus prometeu vida melhor

[00:04:47] Pra quem vive nesse mundo sem amor

[00:04:47] Só depois de entregar o corpo ao chão

[00:04:47] Só depois de morrer neste sertão

[00:04:47] Eu também tô do lado de Jesus

[00:04:47] Só que acho que ele se esqueceu

[00:04:47] De dizer que na terra a gente tem

[00:04:47] De arranjar um jeitinho pra viver

[00:04:47] Muita gente se arvora a ser Deus

[00:04:47] E promete tanta coisa pro sertão

[00:04:47] Que vai dar um vestido pra Maria

[00:04:47] E promete um roçado pro João

[00:04:47] Entra ano, sai ano, e nada vem

[00:04:47] Meu sertão continua ao deus-dará

[00:04:47] Mas se existe Jesus no firmamento

[00:04:47] Cá na terra isto tem que se acabar

[00:04:47] Rough english translation:

[00:04:47] Look at the procession go by

[00:04:47] Pulling itself like a snake over the ground

[00:04:47] The people who are passing

[00:04:47] Believe in something beyond the sky

[00:04:47] The women are singing verses

[00:04:47] The men listening take of their hats

[00:04:47] They live in penance here on earth

[00:04:47] Waiting for what Jesus promised

[00:04:47] Jesus promised a better life

[00:04:47] To those living in this world without love

[00:04:47] But only after their body is delivered to the ground

[00:04:47] Only after dying in the Sertao

[00:04:47] I’m on Jesus’ side too

[00:04:47] But I think he has forgotten

[00:04:47] To speak to the earth that these people live on

[00:04:47] And tell it to arrange a way for them to live

[00:04:47] Because so many people are flying up to God*

[00:04:47] Who promises so many things for the Sertao

[00:04:47] That he will give a dress to Maria

[00:04:47] And promises a farm for Joao

[00:04:47] Year after year nothing comes

[00:04:47] And the Sertao continues to give to God

[00:04:47] But if Jesus exists up in heaven

[00:04:47] Then here on earth this has to stop

[00:04:47] *I know this line is wrong and there are a few others that I'm not sure about (how to translate 'jeitinho' for instance). Anyone who with better Portuguese should feel free to correct me and I'll change it.
