Lyrics:
white bird
When I saw the burned land
Just like a bonfire in a country party
I asked the lord, wow
"Do I deserve this suffering?"
I asked the lord, wow
"Do I deserve this suffering?"

It's as hot as hell
Not even a single plant survives
For lack of water, I lost my Cattle
My best horse died of thirst

Even the White Bird
Flew away in the desert
So I said: "goodbye, Rosinha"
Remember my heart is with you
So I said: " goodbye, Rosinha"
Remember my heart is with you

Today many miles away
In a sad loneliness
I hope it rains again
For me to come back to my hometown

When plants
Are as green as your eyes
I assure you, don't cry, you see
I'll come back, you see, honey 2x

Original lyrics:
Asa Branca
Quando olhei a terra ardendo
Qual fogueira de São João
Eu perguntei a Deus do céu, ai
Por que tamanha judiação
Eu perguntei a Deus do céu, ai
Por que tamanha judiação

Que braseiro, que fornáia
Nem um pé de prantação
Por farta d'água perdi meu gado
Morreu de sede meu alazão
Por farta d'água perdi meu gado
Morreu de sede meu alazão

Até mesmo a asa branca
Bateu asas do sertão
Então eu disse, adeu' Rosinha
Guarda contigo meu coração
Então eu disse, adeu' Rosinha
Guarda contigo meu coração

Hoje longe muitas légua
Numa triste solidão
Espero a chuva caír de novo
Para eu vortar pro meu sertão
Espero a chuva caír de novo
Para eu vortar pro meu sertão

Quando o verde dos teus óio
Se espalhar na prantação
Eu te asseguro, não chore não, viu
Que eu voltarei, viu, meu coração
Eu te asseguro, não chore não, viu
Que eu voltarei, viu, meu coração
