I work in the Alentejo 1
Cultivating the tough soil;
I smoke my cigarette,
I respect my work hours,
Scattering the seed on the ground...
The Alentejo is so vast!
So much abandoned land...!
The land is the one who provides us with bread
For the good of this nation:
It should be cultivated!
It has been forgotten
There, in the South banks of the Tagus...
There are many unemployed people!
So much abandoned land:
The Alentejo is so vast...!
