Read the text below to answer question 1.
I was with a guy who stamps postcards
Who carelessly opened a letter that came back He got a fright that opened his mouth
This message came to me, not you.
I get crack, sticky, meager money wrapped up
In carbon paper and string, even cut hair 3 x 4 portrait for distant christening
But this here my lord is a love letter
I take the world and I don't go there
But this guy has a loose tongue
he set my letter to music
I was at home, the vitamin was ready
I heard my love letter on the radio
Saying “I happily marry, past paper, present Unwrapped, dressed, I'll be back soon waits for me
Don't ever fight with me, I want to see our children
The teacher taught me how to write a love letter"
take the world i go now …
Cassia Eller

Fagner and Luiz Gonzaga.
Your doctor will excuse me for my story to tell.
Today I'm in a strange land, my grief is very sad
But I was once very happy living in my place.
I had a good horse and liked to camp.
And every day, he hung out at the corral's gate.
Ê ê ê ê la a a a a ê ê ê ê Vaca Estrela,
ô ô ô ô Boi Cornmeal.
I'm a son of the Northeast, I don't deny my nature
But a horrible drought hit me from there to here
There I had my cattle, it's not even good to imagine,
My beautiful Cow Star and my beautiful Boi Fubá
When it was late in the afternoon I started to feed
Ê ê ê ê la a a a a ê ê ê ê Vaca Estrela,
ô ô ô ô Boi Cornmeal.
That dreadful drought made everything go awry,
No grass was born in the field for cattle to sustain
The sertão scorched, made the dams dry
My Star Cow has died, my Boi Fubá is over
I lost everything I had, I could never support
Ê ê ê ê la a a a a ê ê ê ê Vaca Estrela,
ô ô ô ô Boi Cornmeal.
Today in the southern lands, far from the native clod
When I see a herd pass in front of me,
The water runs from my eyes, I soon start to cry
I remember my Vaca Estrela and my beautiful Boi Fubá
Missing the Northeast, makes you want to go
Ê ê ê ê la a a a a ê ê ê ê Vaca Estrela,
ô ô ô ô Boi Cornmeal.
