Forest song
Don’t forget this song
Our fathers used to sing when they were young
True song coming from the forest, the song of harmony
Chorus: The song of joy forest song
Now that timber industry grows and grows
There are so many new songs coming far away
Songs of big engines, songs of new merchants
Chorus : Asking you and me to save the nature, save the forest
But I want you to remain free, free like a lion
I also want you to stay wise,
Chorus: wise like a hare
One day things may change
And that day remember that you have a small axe
Coming from our fathers, coming from our ancestors
Hey, my son, my little son,
Don’t forget this song
Our fathers used to sing when they were young
True song coming from the forest, the song of harmony
Chorus: The song of joy forest song
Oh I want you to remain free, free like a lion
I also want you to stay wise,
Chorus: wise like a hare
One day things may change
And that day remember that you have a small axe
Coming from our fathers, coming from our ancestors
Hey, my son, my little son, listen
A mùna senga, wa senga, senga maléa, maléa ma mboa
