UNICEF IN THE BRAZILIAN SEMI ARID 2006
“Open your eyes, here we are, sowers of tomorrow
In the streets or in the sugarcane farms,
Or in the headlines
Unfair to have calloused hands from so much work
with hoe and knife,
Disappointment takes away so many dreams,
Made of toys, games, and songs.
Let's unite our forces,
Singing out loud so the world can hear,
The Semi-Arid is the star that will shine in the sky.
We have to dream and make it happen,
Like a river heading to the sea,
Because it is certain that we will win. ”
Letra de Fabio Atanásio, Brasileno Pinto e José Manoel. Música José Manoel.
