Vida Boa

What a good lifeQue vida boa
Oh, oh, oh, what a good lifeÔ, ô, ô, que vida boa
Frog fell in the pondSapo caiu na lagoa
It's me on the way to my backcountrySou eu no caminho do meu sertão

What a good lifeQue vida boa
Oh, oh, oh, what a good lifeÔ, ô, ô, que vida boa
Frog fell in the pondSapo caiu na lagoa
It's me on the way to my backcountrySou eu no caminho do meu sertão

I live in a placeMoro num lugar
In a little innocent house in the backcountryNuma casinha inocente do sertão
With a low fire burning in the stoveDe fogo baixo aceso no fogão
Wood stove, oh, ohFogão à lenha, ai, ai

I have everything hereTenho tudo aqui
A milking cow, a good donkeyUmas vaquinha leiteira, um burro bão
A lowland stream and a guitarUma baixada ribeira e um violão
And some chickens, oh, ohE umas galinha, ai, ai

I have in the backyardTenho no quintal
Some fruit and flower treesUns pés de fruta e de flor
And, in my heart, for loveE, no meu peito, por amor
I planted someone (I planted someone)Plantei alguém (plantei alguém)

What a good lifeQue vida boa
Oh, oh, oh, what a good lifeÔ, ô, ô, que vida boa
Frog fell in the pondSapo caiu na lagoa
It's me on the way to my backcountrySou eu no caminho do meu sertão

What a good lifeQue vida boa
Oh, oh, oh, what a good lifeÔ, ô, ô, que vida boa
Frog fell in the pondSapo caiu na lagoa
It's me on the way to my backcountrySou eu no caminho do meu sertão

Every now and then I goVez e outra vou
To the village store to buyNa venda do vilarejo pra comprar
Coarse salt, cloves, and other things we needSal grosso, cravo e outras coisa que faltar
Strong liquor, oh, ohMarvada pinga, ai, ai

I take my good donkeyPego o meu burrão
I make the dust rise on the roadFaço na estrada a poeira levantar
Any sadness that comes won't lastQualquer tristeza que for não vai passar
From the cattle grid, oh, ohDo mata-burro, ai, ai

I ride gallopingGalopando vou
After the curve there's someoneDepois da curva tem alguém
That I always call my loveQue chamo sempre de meu bem
Waiting for me (waiting for me)A me esperar (a me esperar)
