A Conquista

One day a conqueror arrived in this land
Staining with blood the ground he walked on
Did not respect the culture of the place
Not even the history of these ancient people
I wanted gold, wealth and treasure
Then the land and also slavery
Tibiriçá, Araribóia, Ajuricaba said no

One day the Indian fought against the invading white man
And the war of brave warriors then began
Bows and arrows against the force of the cannon
Indian War decimated my nation
They brought a cross but used an arquebus
And the Amerindian resisted the invasion
They called for death and massacre of my people
Civilization

The white man arrived to conquer
The black man arrived to work
Uniting races and beliefs of peoples
Coming from overseas
