Are we left all alone? Mother has no time but she cares for me And she cries all the tears I am joining now the river flow I am three days old Now the time has come, you have to be a man I don't want to destroy The only chance I have to survive down here

Hear the children cryin' But I know they cry not in vain Now the times are changin' Love has come to bloom again Smelling the air when spring comes by raindrops Reminds us of youthful days But now it's not rain that water the cane crops But the sweat
