A Grande Esperança (Reforma Agrária)
Chico Rey e Paraná
The Great Hope (Agrarian Reform)
The peasant class and the working class
Anxiously await the agrarian reform
Knowing that it will provide a solution
For the precarious situation
Coming from the Brazilian ground
For each peasant to gain their area
I know that no one would live in misery
And production would already increase
Five hundred percent even in livestock
This great crisis that emerged long ago
Mistreats the countryman, hurting his pride
Within a rich and lofty country
Brazilians die of hunger and cold
In our cities rich in real estate
Millions of cars have already been produced
While the poor worker
Lives tight earning a salary
That rises after everything else has risen
Our farmer who lives off the land
Only gets half of his production
Because the seed he sows
Has to be shared with his boss
Our peasant lives in a dilemma
And the problem has no solution
Because the rich man who lives comfortably
Thinks that if the project is signed
It will be violating the constitution
But great hope guides the people
And they pray to Jesus
To guide the poor along their path
And for the family not to lack bread
They don't let capitalism
Lead our nation to ruin
The inequality here is so great
While the rich man doesn't know what he earns
The poorest of the poor live on pennies
