The seed you sow
texto: excerto
de Men of England – a song, de Percy B. Shelley
música de Pedro Rodrigues e coro da Achada
[mi
maior]
The seed ye sow, another
reaps;
The wealth ye find,
another keeps;
The robes ye weave,
another wears;
The arms ye forge,
another bears.
Sow seed—but let no
tyrant reap:
Find wealth—let no
imposter heap:
Weave robes—let not the
idle wear:
Forge arms—in your
defence to bear.
[dito]
Have
ye leisure, comfort, calm,
Shelter, food, love’s
gentle balm?
Or what is it ye buy so
dear
With your pain and with
your fear?
[dito]
Tendes lazer, conforto, calma,
Abrigo, comida, o delicado bálsamo do amor?
Ou que é isso que pagais tão caro
Com a vossa dor e o vosso medo?
