Eu e Meu Pai
Cezar e Paulinho
Me and My Father
Look at my father over there
With calloused hands
Losing the rest of his life
On the handle of the hoe
I didn't want it to be like this
For me, everything would be different
I wanted to have my father in the city
Living happily with us
What's the point of having a diploma
Having comfort, having everything
If I can't have at home
The one who brought me into the world
I studied for so many years
To take him away from here
My effort was in vain
Because he doesn't want to go
When it's early morning
And the day is approaching
He hears his alarm clock
In the henhouse, singing
He calls his best friend
Who goes out barking and running ahead
And comes to hard work
Here under this scorching sun
In this car I see myself
Well-dressed and perfumed
I suffer so much seeing him
Sweating, all wet
Look at the old man's cart
Tied with a rope
Look at his refrigerator
Leaning in the shade
When it's late afternoon
He goes to his little house
To eat his beans with rice
Cooked on the wood stove
And in his angico armchair
He sits moved
And on the biggest screen in the world
He watches his favorite movie
On the old man's TV
There are no movies about bandits
No police movies
And no forbidden movies
On the channel of infinity
His TV is turned on
Only the stars appear
And the silver moon
Look at my father
