Chico Parauê - Carolina Soares

Coro:

Chico paraue, raue,

Chico paraue, raua

Chico paraue, raue

Pararaue, raue, Paraue, raua

A dor de uma mae escrava

Ao ver seu filho se afastar

Vendido para uma fazenda

Como se ele fosee

Especie de animal

A dor do pai era mais forte

Mais nada podia fazer

Do que se ajoelhar na terra e

Pedir para Deus que queria morrer.

A agua que a gente bebia

Corria logo por ali

Racao era unica comida

Palha de coqueiro

Cama pra dormir

The pain of a slave mother

When seeing your child walk away

sold to a farm

As if he were

species of animal

Choir:

The father's pain was stronger

nothing else could do

Than to kneel on the earth and

Ask God that I wanted to die.

The water that we drank

I ran right there

Racao was the only food

coconut straw

bed to sleep
