Fly Away Little Paraquayo Songtext

von George Baker

They came in white boats, many years ago
They gave you presents and promised you a lot.
Then they lock you on a chain, put you in a mine
And they said: "Work for the glory of our god!"

Fly away little paraquayo, spread your wings out to the sky
Fly away little paraquayo, cause the white man's on the ride
And your body is so hungry, and your mind is filled with fear
Fly away little paraquayo cause the soldiers'll soon be here

They said you're just an Indian, not better than the beast
Only good for working like a slave
And so you sweat and run, ‘til the day is done
While you know you could be better in your grave

Fly away little paraquayo, spread your wings out to the sky
Fly away little paraquayo, cause the white man's on the ride
And your body is so hungry, and your mind is filled with fear
Fly away little paraquayo cause the soldiers'll soon be here

Fly away little paraquayo, spread your wings out to the sky
Fly away little paraquayo, cause the white man's on the ride
And your body is so hungry, and your mind is filled with fear
Fly away little paraquayo cause the soldiers'll soon be here
