Água no Bico [English translation]

Better to be seawater

Than to be water from the well

Stagnant water creates insects

Stir the water boy

There are people who don't move

They are slow, almost stopping

They leave life stagnated

They are sleeping although they awake

They don't even see that it goes by

It seems that it is fashion now

To be cosuming

The same mind that creates

Ends up destroying itself

Our planet needs

That mankind be human

What will be of his children

If earth is endagered

And the water is getting scarce

I already feel shortness of breath

Only by thinking of the future

Pollution and indifference

Turn everything into smoke

What once was a sky

Turned into a dirty space

It is so sad to say

What I liked to see

Became the door to the end of the world

A popular saying

Is about what I am saying

In the wood that starts burning

The tiziu takes water in his beak

He knows that alone

He will make a difference

By slowly taking

A bit of water in his little beak

Curator of conscience

I wrote this song now

To touch your sentiment

Nature is passive

But it claims at any moment

If we had wings

We should be like the little bird

We would have shame in our face

We would fill the beak with water

And not burn our own nest
