Não Foi Cabral
MC Carol
It Wasn't Cabral
Teacher, I'm sorry
But I'm going to say
This year at school
Things will change
Nothing against you
Don't take it the wrong way
Who discovered Brazil
Wasn't Cabral
Nothing against you
Don't take it the wrong way
Who discovered Brazil
Wasn't Cabral
Pedro Álvares Cabral arrived on the twenty-second of April
Then he colonized, calling it Pau-Brasil
No one brought family, much less a child
Because they already knew they would kill many Indians
Thirteen caravels brought a lot of death
One million Indians died of tuberculosis
Talking about the suffering of the Tupis and Guaranis
I remembered the warrior Quilombo Zumbi
Zumbi of Palmares
Victim of an ambush
If it weren't for Dandara
I would have been whipped
Nothing against you
Don't take it the wrong way
Who discovered Brazil
Wasn't Cabral
Nothing against you
Don't take it the wrong way
Who discovered Brazil

No, no, it wasn't Cabral
