Sertões Songtext
von Dysnomia

Wandering about the scorching wilderness
In search of a new life, the southward journey starts

Barren lives, devoid of dreams and hope
Barren lives, desensitized, without a voice

On they march

Monomyth of the destitute
Eulogy of the oppressed
Rise against all the adversity
Of your soul never bereft

Every step is filled with bitter pain
Homesickness and memories of a world left behind


Yet their odyssey goes on
Towards the light of a new dawn

"Eu sou de uma terra em que o povo padece
Mas não esmorece e procura vencer
Eu sou brasileiro, filho do nordeste
Sou cabra da peste, sou do Ceará"*

On they march
March!!!

Barren lives, devoid of dreams and hope
Barren lives, the world shall hear their voice

O sertão vai virar mar, e o mar, sertão

*Patativa do Assaré
