Текст песни The Jungle Pioneer (Viola Violar) - Milton Nascimento , The Manhattan Transfer
Here
where
we
stand
there
used
to
be
a
forest
A
timber
rising
endlessly
before
us
We
cleared
away
that
God
forsaken
jungle
And
in
return
the
Indians
adore
us
What
was
mud
now
is
a
highway
Reaching
wide
into
a
prairie
Horses
run
--
cattle
are
grazing
You
would
swear
it
was
Oklahoma
Day
by
day
dark
is
illuminated
God's
mistake
altered
and
uncreated
Wrong's
made
right
left
to
the
jungle
pioneer
See
in
the
field
my
little
son
and
daughter
Not
long
ago
that
ground
was
underwater
Now
you
can
see
them
walking
with
the
cattle
Singing
them
songs
before
they
go
to
slaughter
There
are
those
who
would
oppose
us
Crying
out,
"God
save
the
planet"
Bleeding
hearts
can't
turn
asunder
This
the
eighth
and
final
wonder
Day
by
day
this
land
is
liberated
God's
mistake
altered
and
uncreated
Wrong's
made
right
left
to
the
jungle
pioneer
Saddle
up
giddy
up
and
ride
on
out
of
here
We
got
a
mile
of
burning
to
do
today
Get
along
now
gonna
need
you
out
of
here
We
got
a
pile
of
earning
to
do
today
Down
in
Brazil
there
used
to
be
a
forest
Now
in
it's
place
a
crazy
wind
is
whistling
As
every
tree
was
falling
in
the
forest
It
made
a
sound
but
nobody
was
listening
When
the
last
is
buried
under
What
has
been
will
be
no
longer
No
matter
what
man
may
endeavor
Eden's
gate
closes
forever
Day
by
day
life
is
eliminated
God's
own
work
altered
and
eliminated
Through
it
all
there
stands
the
jungle
pioneer
