lyrics

BRASIL TERRA VERDE
EM SEUS RIOS CORREM O SANGUE DOS ÍNDIOS
ARVORES QUE MORREM COMO OS ANCESTRAIS
KAYAPO, XAVANTES, YANOMANIS, GUARANIS
ESSAS E OUTRAS TRIBOS ARRISCARAM
A VIDA PRA SALVAR A TERRA

O ÍNDIO DANÇA O ÍNDIO CANTA
O ÍNDIO CHAMA ATENÇÃO }BIS
AMAZÔNIA TERRA ABENÇOADA
CHEGA DE EXPLORAÇÃO

O HOMEM BRANCO E HOMEM POLÍTICO
TRAZ A MORTE COM AS CONSTRUÇÕES
DE REPRESAS QUE DESTROEM FLORESTAS
GARIMPEIROS QUE MATAVAM ÍNDIOS
PROCURANDO OURO COM SONHO DE RIQUEZA

EM ALTAMIRA OS KAYAPOS
PROTESTAM AO CHAMAM
QUE EXPLORADORES CHEGARA ATE ALI
PARA DESTRUIR O RIO XINGU

BRAZIL GREEN EARTH
IN RIVERS RUN WITH THE BLOOD OF INDIANS
TREES TO DIE LIKE THE ANCESTORS
Kayapó, XAVANTES, Yanomami, Guaraní
THESE AND OTHER TRIBES RISKED THEIR
LIVES TO SAVE THE EARTH

THE INDIAN DANCES, THE INDIAN SINGS
THE INDIAN CALLS ATTENTION} BIS
AMAZON BLESSED LAND
EXPLOITATION ARRIVING

WHITE MAN IS POLITICAL
BRINGS DEATH WITH THE CONSTRUCTION
OF DAMS THAT DESTROY FORESTS,
MINERS KILLING INDIANS
GOLD SEARCHING WITH THE DREAM OF WEALTH

IN ALTAMIRA the Kayapó
CALL TO PROTEST
THE EXPLORERS ARE ARRIVING
TO DESTROY THE RIVER XINGU
