Eu Vi Sim

I Did See

Eu Vi Sim

It was me who saw my Northeast sufferFui eu sim que vi meu nordeste sofrer
It was me indeed, and I came here to sayFui eu sim, e vim aqui pra dizer
I did see, I saw drought and I also saw rainEu vi sim, vi seca e também vi chover
I did see, the truth I must not hideEu vi sim, a verdade não devo esconder

In the rain like this, black people cryNa chuva assim preto chorar
In the drought, white-winged bird fliesNa seca asa branca correr
I've seen country folks cryingJá vi sertanejo chorando
And seen crops being lostE ver plantação se perder
I did see but the storm passedEu vi sim mais a tempestade passou
I did see however, calmness arrivedEu vi sim porém a bonança chegou
