Capim di pranta
Language: Portuguese (Português)
Tá capinando, tá!
Capim di pranta
Tá capinando, tá nascendo;
Rainha mandou dizê
pru módi pará co'essa lavoura;
Mandou dizê! Mandou pará!
La-ra-li-la...
Field laborer song. The laborers are struggling against 'capim', a weed that grows faster than they can pick it. The queen orders the harvest to stop, and they rejoice. (note provided by Diana Daniel)

"Jongo" Lied
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Portuguese (Português)
Ich jäte, ta!
Umkraut, wird gejätet
und schon wieder wächst.
Die Königin hat endlich die Anordnung gegeben,
dass wir diese undankbare Arbeit
nicht mehr machen muss.
La-ra-li-la...
