Salve a Natureza
Beth Carvalho
Save Nature
Firewood for your stove..........(comes from nature)
The wheat that makes your bread..........(comes from nature)
The light of your lamp, you see..........(comes from nature)
The water that wets the ground, you see..........(comes from nature)
Save nature, my love..........(save nature)
Save nature, my love..........(save nature)
A piece of the sky stayed here
A hummingbird made its home in the garden
We have spring water to drink
In the morning, there's coffee with cassava
In the field, there's corn to harvest
In the mill, there's sugarcane to extract
The sweetness that makes brown sugar
And the sugarcane liquor that pleases the palate, you see!
CHORUS 2 + CHORUS 1 + CHORUS 2
And those who know what's good don't leave here
My love, come closer, I'll tell you
I gave up on my biggest dream
In the city, it's not possible to live
The smoke darkens the sky of anil
There are slums everywhere
Unemployment causing violence
And the green losing its place, you see!
CHORUS 2
Don't deforest our land because it's our wealth, look there!
CHORUS 2
I saw rallies, heard promises, but I didn't feel reassured, look there!
