Overview

I'm not leaving the countryside" * I'm not leaving the countryside So that I can go to school Education in the countryside is a right, not a handout The peasant people The man and the woman The black quilombolas With their afoxé song Ticuna, Caeté Chestnut growers, Rubber tappers Fishermen and squatters In this struggle they are standing Culture and production Subjects of culture Our agriculture For the good of the population Building a nation Building sovereignty To live the new day With more humanisation Those who live in the forest From the rivers and the seas From all the places Where the sun makes a gap Those who lend their strength In the quilombos in the villages And those who sow on the land Come here and have a party (*) Hymn of Countryside Education - lyrics: Gilvan Santos.
