In a land far away, where the sugarcane grows,
There lived a young gaucho, with a heart full of woes.
For the ecosystem he loved was in great danger,
From the toxic effects of deforestation and stranger.

A cruel dictator ruled over the land,
And many plantations were at his command.
But the gaucho knew that he had to act,
To save the highlands and the basin intact.

He learned about the water cycle and how it worked,
And how important it was to not let it be lurked.
He rallied the people and they danced the samba,
Together they stood up against the big drama.

The Catholic church joined in and offered a prayer,
For the preservation of nature that was so fair.
With the power of the people and the faith in their hearts,
They fought for the ecosystem and played their parts.

And so the sugarcane fields were saved,
And the toxic chemicals were finally waived.
The ecosystem thrived once again,
Thanks to the courage of the gaucho and his friends.
