Mastigando Água
Jorge & Mateus
Chewing Water
You so many times speak ill of me
And the reason even I swear I don't know
I must not be such a bad guy
If what feeds you was what I planted
What warms your body and creates home
Wool blanket, bread, and coffee
I'm a countryman, I love my country
I'm this way and so I'm happy
And please tell me, who are you
Who are you
Have you ever enjoyed the dawn in the bush?
The wet grass and bare feet?
Have you ever touched the earth with your hands?
Who are you
Who only speaks nicely and doesn't help at all
Who has a dry soul and abandoned land
What have you planted in your heart?
I don't trade my sleep for your money
I don't trade my peace for your life
And every time it dawns I thank God
For another day where work continues
You keep saying I'm a hillbilly
Why nurture so much resentment in your heart?
If I fold my arms, how will it be?
When hunger strikes, I'll pay to see
You eating sand and chewing water
Who are you?
Have you ever enjoyed the dawn in the bush?
The wet grass and bare feet?
Have you ever touched the earth with your hands?
Who are you?
Who only speaks nicely and doesn't help at all
Who has a dry soul and abandoned land
What have you planted in your heart?
