Canção da Terra

Everything happened on a certain day
Time of the Ave Maria, I saw the universe being born
In the beginning, the word became fire
The globe didn't even have an atlas
But the place had a name
It was earth, earth

And the creator made nature
Made the fields and forests
Made the animals, made the sea
Finally made the rebellion
That gives us the guarantee
That leads us to fight
For the earth, earth

Mother earth, our hope
Where life bears its fruits
Your child comes to sing
To be and have the dream in full
To be landless, to be a warrior
With the mission to sow
To the earth, earth

But despite all this
The latifundium is like a weed
That needs to end
Break the fences of ignorance
That produces intolerance
The land belongs to those who plant
To the earth, earth
