Canção Do Sal
Milton Nascimento
Salt Song
Working the salt
It's love, the sweat that comes out of me
I'll live singing
The day so hot it is
Man sees a child
Looking for seashells in the sea
I work the whole day
To make a living
Water turns into salt in the salt flat
Who reduced the sea water
Water faces the sun in the salt flat
Sun that keeps burning until it burns
Working the salt
To see the woman getting dressed
And when arriving home
Finding the family smiling
Son coming from school
Biggest problem of studying
So that my work
And life of people won't be necessary
