Canto da Terra Lyrics by Carlos Marighella

Poemas

0

A terra tem tudo
e plantando é que dá.

E plantaram e plantaram
ou já estava plantado.
A floresta amazônica,
o rio e os peixes
e o balacubau.

A caatinga existia
com a braúna,
o mandacaru
e o gravatá cariango.
As coxilhas do Sul,
o maciço do Atlântico,
a Serra do Mar,
os pinheiros erguidos,
o rio Amazonas,
o rio São Francisco,
o rio Paraná...

Canaviais assobiando,
cortina verde estendida
sobre imensa extensão.

E plantaram café
e cacau e borracha...
E plantaram erva-mate...

Com o escravo e o imigrante
tudo se fez.
Comidas meu santo,
a mulata, a morena...
e até a loura surgiu.
A índia já havia,
a gringa veio depois.
Quem atrapalhou
foi gente de fora
que não trabalhou.

Eu canto a terra...
Todos sabem que outra
mais garrida não há...
“Teus risonhos, lindos campos têm mais flores”...
Bom! Lírios já houve,
mas agora é que não.

Eu canto a terra,
eu canto o povo...
Cantam os poetas
e cantando vão...
