Terra, Vida e Esperança
Luiz Gonzaga
Earth, Life, and Hope
I'm in the weariness of life
I'm in the rest of faith
I'm at war with hunger
At the table, thread and woman
To be a countryman, sir
Is to make the weak strong
To carry bad luck or luck
To compare life with death
It's to be born in this backlands
The battle is ending
I already see lightning
I open the corral of misery
And let hunger pass
What I feel, my lord
I don't complain about anyone
What's missing here is rain
But I know it will come one day
There will be abundance
For those who had today and don't have
