É Tao Grande o Alentejo
Dulce Pontes
Alentejo is so Big
In Alentejo I work
cultivating the hard land,
I go smoking my cigarette,
I fulfill my schedule
throwing the seed to the ground.
Alentejo is so big,
so much abandoned land!...
The land is what gives bread,
for the good of this nation
it should be cultivated.
It has always been forgotten,
on the sidelines, south of the Tagus,
there are unemployed people.
So much abandoned land,
Alentejo is so big!
