Full lyrics
Vamos plantar feijão a nossa terra
Vamos plantar feijão choveu e caiu garoa
Todo mundo trabalhando todo mundo tem
E não precisa de ninguém a nossa terra dá
Tem campo para trabalhar pro agricultor
A vida do trabalhador tem que melhorar
Choveu e garoou
Quem plantou ganhou
Quem não plantou amofinou
E nunca mais lucrou
Plantando batata doce, mandioca e feijão
Tem fartura na nação até para exportar
Por isso vamos trabalhar a terra esta molhada
Vamos pegar a enxada que é tempo de plantar
Translation
Let's plant beans in our land
Let's plant beans, it rained and drizzled
Everyone working, everyone has
And doesn't need anyone, our land provides
There's field to work for the farmer
The worker's life has to improve
It rained and drizzled
Whoever planted, won
Whoever didn't plant, sulked
And never profited again
Planting sweet potatoes, cassava, and beans
There's abundance in the nation, even for export
That's why let's work, the land is wet
Let's grab the hoe, it's time to plant
