Povo Pequenino
Era o povo pequenino, pés descalços na geada
Era o povo pequenino, na cartilha da pancada
Era o povo pequenino, já puxava pela enxada
Era o povo pequenino, a chorar na tabuada
Morder os dentes, lamber os beiços
Molhar pão velho na caldeirada
Ai, povo pequenino
Pés na lama do destino
Ai, povo pequenino
Pés na lama do destino
Não te pesa o coração
Com o chumbo da lição
Não te pesa
Ai, povo pequenino
Tão humilde e cabotino
Ai, povo pequenino
Tão humilde, tão escarninho
Não te dói no coração
O estilhaço do canhão
Não te pesa
No mar, a boiar, são cravos
No fundo, há feitos escravos
Ai, quanto do teu sal
Ó, povo pequenino
Pobre povo pequenino
Ó, povo pequenino
Pobre povo pequenino
Não te pesa o coração
Tanto medo da canção
Tanto amor
Ao bаѕtão
Little Nation
Little was the nation, barefoot in the frost
Little was the nation, taught by the beating
Little was the nation, already carrying the hoe
Little was the nation, crying over the times table
Biting their teeth, licking their lips
Dipping old bread in the stew
Oh, little nation
Your feet in the mud of fate
Oh, little nation
Your feet in the mud of fate
Doesn't your heart weigh you down
With the burden of the lesson?
Doesn't it weigh you down?
Oh, little nation
So humble and so pretentious
Oh, little nation
So humble, such a scoffer
Doesn't it hurt in your heart
The shrapnel of the cannon?
Doesn't it weigh you down?
There are carnations floating in the sea
At the bottom, there are enslaved people
Oh, how much of your salt?
Oh little nation
Poor little nation
Oh little nation
Poor little nation
Doesn't it weigh on your heart?
So much fear of the ѕong
So much love
For the bаton
