Last month, the Brazilian music group Canto Geral released the song "Santa Elina é dos camponeses" (Santa Elina belongs to the peasants), which celebrates the struggle of the revolutionary peasant movement in Rondônia. We publish the song and an unofficial translation into English here (found here).
Santa Elina Belongs to the Peasants
Soaked with the blood
Of workers and peasants
To the Santa Elina Farm
We will return once again
Santa Elina belongs to the peasants
No genocide will tear it away
The glorious red flag
Waves in Rondônia
The terrorist government
Wants to murder the people
Latifundium, their gunmen
Kiss the military’s boot
Santa Elina belongs to the peasants
No genocide will tear it away
The glorious red flag
Waves in Rondônia
The Agrarian Revolution
Is the path of the peasants
Give the land to those who work it
Long live the LCP
Santa Elina belongs to the peasants
No genocide will tear it away
The glorious red flag
Waves in Rondônia
