Hino da Campanha da Fraternidade 2007

Amazon
Hymn of CF 2007 (track 1)
Lyrics: Roberto Lima de Souza
Music: Evaristo Martins de Souza Neto

1. Let the green be the sign of hope
In the Amazon, corner of the alliance
Without the evils generated by greed;
With Christ who renews everything,
We will see a new land
A new land where justice reigns!

Chorus: Rivers, lakes, forests, and peoples,
Bless the Lord in the song,
Bless the Lord in the song,
It's a song that builds new times
Our life and mission in this land!
Our life and mission in this land!

2. The appeals of God for life
Come in the voice of Jesus who invites
To living together in diversity.
For the poor who must be welcomed
The Amazon will be converted
Into the Plain of fraternity.

3. Amazon, we take to the world,
The cry that becomes so deep
For justice, work, and bread,
For the life that manifests itself,
For our brothers of the forest
For peace and evangelization.

4. Amazon, Amazon, this song
Help us wipe away all tears
From this land so strong and so tender!
And may the life of the martyrs be
A new breath of life in the Church
And hope for a fraternal world.
