Refloresta (part. Gilsons e Bem Gil)
Gilberto Gil
Reforest (feat. Gilsons and Bem Gil)
Keeping what remains standing is not enough
That someone will come and tear down what's left
The way is to convince those who devastate
Respecting the forest
Keeping what remains standing is not enough
That the voracious chainsaw has a party
The way is to understand that enough is enough
And replant the forest
Millions of species, plants and animals
Buzzing, screaming, barking, everything else
Howls, murmurs, ancestral laments
Why don't we leave our world alone?
Beyond the hill, the desert spreads
Throughout the land, from the mountains to the ends of the earth
A hollow stump, a Canastra shell
Where we bury marmosets
Keeping what remains standing is not enough
Almost all the green gold is gone
Now it's time to be reforested
That the heart does not destroy
Millions of species, plants and animals
Buzzing, screaming, barking, everything else
Howls, murmurs, ancestral laments
Why don't we leave our world alone?
Keeping what remains standing is not enough
That someone will come and tear down what's left
The way is to convince those who devastate
Respecting the forest
Keeping what remains standing is not enough
Almost all the green gold is gone
Now it's time to be reforested
That the heart does not destroy
That the heart does not destroy
Respect the forest
That the heart does not destroy
Replant the forest
That the heart does not destroy
