Em 17 de abril de 1996, 19 trabalhadores sem terra foram brutalmente assassinados pela Polícia Militar do Pará. Execução à queima roupa e morte por instrumentos cortantes foram a resposta do Estado aos agricultores que protestavam por um pedaço de terra nesse país de latifúndios. Os 17 anos de impunidade do Massacre de Eldorado dos Carajás são mais uma página na longa história da injusta distribuição de terras e na difícil luta pela sobrevivência de milhares de trabalhadores rurais no país.

On April 17, 1996, 19 landless workers were brutally murdered by the Military Police of Pará. Point blank execution and death by sharp instruments were the state's response to farmers who were protesting for a piece of land in this country. The 17 years of impunity of Eldorado dos Carajás' Massacre is another page in the long history of inequitable land distribution and the difficult struggle for survival of thousands of farm workers in this country.

Raising red flags as the fresh blood that soon
would be dropped by those
who pretend to protect but only kill

Confrontation

Burning tires 'cause they have reached their
boiling point but their choice
to oppose was replied with carnage

Executed, point blank, for rising up against the greed
Another day: Unstopabble Slaughter
Another preys of this killing fields

Just another gory conflict in an old
history of land concentration
where few has the power

Massacre for land
Massacre of our land

Control over media converts in insanity
as they could justify this fatality
Gravelly, we will remember the story of this slay
so the memory won't fade away
