Translation
So that no one says I never sung of flowers
Walking ahead and singing
Following the verses of the melody
We all are equal,
United or not,
In the schools and streets
In the fields or building stations
We are walking ahead and singing
Following the verses of the melody
Come on, let's go away
Because it's not wise to be waiting for
The wise does not let the chance pass by
He never waits for it to come
Along the fields there is hunger
Even with abundant plantations
And in the streets,
Streams of doubtful people
Who still take a flower
As the strongest symbol of their convictions
People who still believe that
Flowers can put down the rage of guns
Come on, let's go away
Because it's not wise to be waiting for
The wise does not let the chance pass by
He never waits for it to come
We see armed soldiers
Some of them were ever loved, others were not
Most are equally lost
Holding a gun in hand
In the headquarters, they are taught of
That old pretty lesson
"To die for the sake of the Land"
But to go on without an opinion
Come on, let's go away
Because it's not wise to be waiting for
The wise does not let the chance pass by
He never waits for it to come
In the schools and streets
In the fields or buildind stations
We all are like soldiers
Holding guns or not
Walking ahead and singing
Following the verses of the melody
We all are equal
United or not
Our convictions now rest in our minds
The flowers were shot down
There is alone the faith in the coming future
And a page of the history to be written
Walking ahead and singing
Following the verses of the melody
Learning and teaching
Always a new lesson
Come on, let's go away
Because it's not wise to be waiting for
The wise does not let the chance pass by
He never waits for it to come

This song took place in the time of Brazilian dictatorship. The flower here means a pacifist way of fighting against that
