from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Capim di pranta
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Our translations:  GER
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)
