THE VALLEY OF THE MUD RIVER: Pabro Poeta's music depicts the environmental tragedy in Minas Gerais following dam collapses. The lyrics convey indignation and sadness over human greed that has destroyed landscapes and ecosystems. It describes the consequences of mudslides, questioning how many lives were lost.
“MUD RIVER VALLEY”
“Minas”!
They are destroying your mountains.
Parts of Serra da Piedade and Serra do
Curral
There are no more
Mud avalanches invaded cities
Villages, country sides, rural areas
How many human lives are no more?
Flora, fauna, plantations, under the mud of ambition
“Minas”!
Cry your dead
Lives lost in the mire
Of corrupted morality
Of the unscrupulous, ambitious
Criminal.
Why not?
Criminals!
Why not?
“Minas”!
Your helples children
Ask for answer and solutions
To a sow justice system
With the weight of the iron hammer in hand
Guilty without punishment
“Minas”!
How many screams were
Smothered by dollar sign policy?
Hearts ravaged by pain?
Oh! Land of the “inconfidents”
Conjuration of freedom
Atrocities cannot shut you up
They can’t shut you up
“Minas”!
Your river are not longer sweet
In the valley of heartbreak there is only desolation
Nature complains
About the Mud River Valley
Minas, Brumadinho, Mariana...
Minas, Brumadinho, Mariana...
