O Cio da Terra [English translation]

Thresh the wheat

Collect each kernel of wheat

Forge with wheat the miracle of bread

And satiate yourself with bread

Cut the sugarcane

Collect the juice of the sugarcane

Rob the sugarcane of its sweet honey

Smear yourself with honey

Caress the earth

Know the earth's desires

The earth in heat, the ideal season

And fertilize the ground
