O Xilema Leva

Through the leaf CO2 and the light the plant will absorbPela folha CO2 e a luz planta sorverá
And the root draws the raw sap from the earthE a raiz tira a seiva bruta da terra
It has a parenchymaUm parênquima tem e
Its name is chlorophyllianseu nome clorofiliano é
The light, in the chloroplast, entersA luz,no cloroplasto,entra
And will excite the electronse vai excitar o elétrons
Photosynthesis will occurFotossíntese ocorrerá

And the xylem carriesE o xilema leva

The raw sap: salts and lots of waterA seiva bruta:sais e muita água

The chlorophyll and the light to activateA clorofila e a luz para ativar

And the phloem carriesE o floema leva

Through the Malpighi ringPelo anel de Malpighi
Organic sap will no longerSeiva organica não vai mais
Descend to the ground to feedDescer ao chão pra alimentar
The root, which needs to continueA raiz,que precisa continuar
Under the earth to take the inorganic sapSob a terra para a seiva inorgânica tomar

And the sugar doesn't descendE o açúcar não desce
But the inorganic sap will riseMas a seiva inorgânica subirá
For a while in the plantPor um tempo na planta
photosynthesis still occursfotossíntese ainda acontece
But soon it will succumbMas,em breve,sucumbirá
