Pra não dizer que não falei das flores [English translation]

Walking and chanting

and following the song

We are equal, arm to arm or not

In the school, in the streets,

in the fields and construction sites

Walking and chanting and following the song.

C'mon, let's go, because waiting isn't knowing better

who knows better, go ahead and don't wait for it to happen

There's famine in the fields

Amongst great plantations

There are indecisive blocs

wandering in the streets

Those who still make the flower

their strongest chant

And still believe in the flowers

beating the gun.

C'mon, let's go, because waiting isn't knowing better

who knows better, go ahead and don't wait for it to happen

There are many armed soldiers

Loved or not,

Almost all of them lost

Holding a gun in their hands

In the headquarters they are taught

an ancient lesson

To die for the sake of the Land

and living without reason.

C'mon, let's go, because waiting isn't knowing better

who knows better, go ahead and don't wait for it to happen

In the schools, in the streets

In the fields, in the construction sites

We are all soldiers

Armed or not

Marching and singing

Following the song

We are equals,

Arm to arm or not.

In the school, in the streets,

in the fields and construction sites

We are all soldiers, armed or not

Walking and chanting and following a old song

We are equal, arm to arm or not,

Our loves kept in mind, flowers left in the ground

Certainty ahead of us, history in our hands

Walking and chanting and following the song

Learning and teaching a new lesson.

C'mon, let's go, because waiting isn't knowing better

who knows better, go ahead and don't wait for it to happen
