My grandfather went to seek silver, but the silver became Indians. My grandfather went to seek Indians, but the Indians became gold. My grandfather went to seek gold, but the gold became earth. My grandfather went to seek land, but the land became a frontier. My grandfather, still intrigued, went to shape the frontier; and Brazil took the form of a harp.
Meu avô foi buscar prata, mas a prata virou índio. Meu avô foi buscar índio, mas o índio virou ouro. Meu avô foi buscar ouro, mas o ouro virou terra. Meu avô foi buscar terra, mas a terra virou fronteira. Meu avô, ainda intrigado, foi modelar a fronteira; e o Brasil tomou forma de harpa.
