Canção do Africano
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Minha terra é lá bem longe,
Das bandas de onde o sol vem;
Esta terra é mais bonita,
Mas à outra eu quero bem!
O sol faz lá tudo em fogo,
Faz em brasa toda a areia;
Ninguém sabe como é belo
Ver de tarde a papa-ceia!
Aquelas terras tão grandes,
Tão compridas como o mar,
Com suas poucas palmeiras
Dão vontade de pensar...
Lá todos vivem felizes,
Todos dançam no terreiro;
A gente lá não se vende
Como aqui, só por dinheiro.
