I've never seen anyone
Living so happy
Like me in the backlands

Near a forest
And a stream
God and me in the backlands

Simple little house
Hammock to sleep
At night a show in the sky
I lie down to watch

God and me in the backlands

I don't know about the hours
But I see the sunshine
There I go to take care of the ground

Singing work
The land is the inspiration
God and me in the backlands

There's no solitude
There's a party in the village
After mass I will
I'm going to find my girl

Back home
Burns the wood on the stove
And next to the sound of the forest
I walk with the guitar

God and I in the backlands
God and I in the backlands
