[verse]

They felled their lush trees, killed eggs and young, uprooted and extracted the timber from their lands to sell it. Governments dined with the plunderers; the profits were divided among criminals and thugs with pipe dreams. Drought, hunger, and misery invade their plains. The future is uncertain and will only be legend. The collateral effects of war also brought genocide and holocausts upon the bushes and life itself.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, how horrible! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, the chimpanzee brothers! They have no den and have fallen ill... Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ¡oh...! What a terrible civilization without the law of love! Oh, oh, oh, la, la, la, la, ¡la!

Today we see how vast highways are built and pastures are planted that poison orchards; everything continues its tragic path toward desertification. If we don't stop the logging of our forests, the lungs of the planet will disappear, and the Amazon will never exist again. We need true leaders, intelligent and wise, who love existence and protect life. Let us seek those humans who can be the true "Fathers of the Nation," who together heal the wounds and restore their animals, plants, and families to alleviate the droughts.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, how awful! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, our chimpanzee brothers! They have no shelter and have fallen ill... Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ¡oh...! How terrible is civilization without the law of love! Oh, oh, oh, la, la, la, la, ¡la!

The birds are sick, dead, or gone; the giant leaves of the past no longer cross the rivers as before. The vegetation has dwindled, and the jungle sheds tears in its farewell. The blackbirds mourn their dead, and the lilies moan, lamenting their departure. Once there were beautiful lilies and orchids; now, only wounded parrots, parakeets, and macaws remain. Let us reforest the jungle and go together to the Amazon to help plant and care for life.

[chorus]

Oh, oh, oh, oh, how awful! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, the chimpanzee brothers! They have no den and have fallen ill... Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.! How terrible is civilization without the law of love! Oh, oh, oh, la, la, la, la, ¡la!
