Full lyrics

Larga essa peixeira Zé

Pega na inchada que a chuva já vem pra cá

Vamos cuidar dessa terra que é nossa

Que eu sei que plantando ela dá

Olha pras nuvens de Deus

O céu se enfeitando

E as nuvens formando acolá

Vamos plantar a semente do bem

Deixa a do ódio pra lá


Se a chuva cai

Brota a semente

E a planta nasce

Não morre gente

Ninguém procura

Fugir da roça

E uma palhoça

É uma palacete pra gente


Olha pro céu se enfeitando

Vamos pedir pra não ser temporal

Um pouco com Deus é fartura

Joga fora a semente do mal

Translation

Put that knife down, Zé

Grab the hoe, the rain is coming here

Let's take care of this land that is ours

Because I know that planting it yields

Look at God's clouds

The sky is decorating itself

And the clouds are forming over there

Let's plant the seed of good

Leave the seed of hatred behind


If the rain falls

The seed sprouts

And the plant is born

People don't die

No one seeks

To flee the countryside

And a shack

Is a palace for us


Look at the sky decorating itself

Let's pray it's not a storm

A little with God is abundance

Throw away the seed of evil
