Ecologia
Alcymar Monteiro
Ecology
I defend nature because I grew up with it
And I know that defenseless animals depend on it
In the midst of this sadness, I woke up another day
Enough demagogy, pollution is a drug
Plant one more carob tree
Defend ecology
In your backyard
Plant a cashew tree
Don't turn it into smoke
Dry wood and embers
Because smoke causes lack of air and agony
Don't be part of the poisonous minority like a snake
Plant one more carob tree
Defend ecology
I ask every Northeasterner to cherish, not destroy
To enjoy and not pollute our São Francisco River
These verses I dedicate should serve the majority
Practice wisdom, don't use false maneuvers
Plant one more carob tree
Defend ecology
For those who know the cerrado, the backlands, the cariri
Macambira and calumbi, xique-xique or sprawling
Pure air full of energy, a cattle pen
Abundance full and surplus
Plant one more carob tree
Defend ecology
Let's respect the green
With hands extended
So we can have more life
End hunger and thirst
It's good to nap in the hammock on a calm and cold morning
Have a healthy life, nature demands it
Plant one more carob tree
Defend ecology
Spread the green on the land
Open a simple vector
We need comfort, no guns, bombs, or war
I like my hillside, where the breeze blows gently
In the gust of the wind, the vegetation bends
Plant one more carob tree
Defend ecology
Attention responsible individuals
If we continue like this, the São Francisco River will be dead in 50 years!
