Lyrics
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
Coro:
Chico paraue, raue,
Chico paraue, raua
Chico paraue, raue
Pararaue, raue, Paraue, raua
A dor do pai era mais forte
Mais nada podia fazer
Do que se ajoelhar na terra e
Pedir para Deus que queria morrer.
Coro:
Chico paraue, raue,
Chico paraue, raua
Chico paraue, raue
Pararaue, raue, Paraue, raua
A agua que a gente bebia
Corria logo por ali
Racao era unica comida
Palha de coqueiro
Cama pra dormir
Coro:
Chico paraue, raue,
Chico paraue, raua
Chico paraue, raue
Pararaue, raue, Paraue, raua
Coro:
Chico paraue, raue,
Chico paraue, raua
Chico paraue, raue
Pararaue, raue, Paraue, raua
Lyrics translation
Choir:
Chico paraue, raue,
Chico paraue, raua
Chico paraue, raue
Pararaue, raue, Paraue, raua
The pain of a slave mother
Seeing your child walk away
Sold for a farm
As if he fosee
Animal species
Choir:
Chico paraue, raue,
Chico paraue, raua
Chico paraue, raue
Pararaue, raue, Paraue, raua
The father's pain was stronger
Nothing else I could do
Than to kneel on the ground and
To ask God that he wanted to die.
Choir:
Chico paraue, raue,
Chico paraue, raua
Chico paraue, raue
Pararaue, raue, Paraue, raua
To water that people drank
I was just running that way.
Racao was the only food
Coconut straw
Bed to sleep
Choir:
Chico paraue, raue,
Chico paraue, raua
Chico paraue, raue
Pararaue, raue, Paraue, raua
Choir:
Chico paraue, raue,
Chico paraue, raua
Chico paraue, raue
Pararaue, raue, Paraue, raua
