Translation of the song lyrics Pingo D'água - Amado Batista, Renato Teixeira, Sergio Reis

Pingo D'água (original)

Eu fiz promessa, pra que Deus mandasse chuva
Pra crescer a minha roça e vingar a criação
Pois veio a seca, e matou meu cafezal
Matou todo o meu arroz e secou todo algodão
Nessa colheita, meu carro ficou parado
Minha boiada carreira, quase morre sem pastar
Eu fiz promessa, que o primeiro pingo d´água
Eu molhava a flor da santa, que tava em frete do altar
Eu esperei, uma semana o mês inteiro
A roça tava tão seca, dava pena até de ver
Olhava o céu, cada nuvem que passava
Eu da santa me alembrava, pra promessa não esquecer
Em pouco tempo, a roça ficou viçosa
A criação já pastava, floresceu meu cafezar
Fui na capela, e levei três pingos d´água
Um foi o pingo da chuva, dois caiu do meu olhar

(translation)

I made a promise, so that God would send rain
To grow my garden and avenge creation
Because the drought came, and it killed my coffee plantation
Killed all my rice and dried all my cotton
In this harvest, my car was stopped
My cattle career, almost dies without grazing
I made a promise that the first drop of water
I watered the saint's flower, which was in front of the altar
I waited, one week the whole month
The field was so dry, it was even sad to see
I looked at the sky, every cloud that passed
I remembered the saint, to promise not to forget
In a short time, the field became lush
Creation was already grazing, my cafezar flourished
I went to the chapel, and I took three drops of water
One was a raindrop, two fell from my gaze
