question 2
Select the regular and irregular verbs present in the song below.
White wing
When I looked at the earth burning
Which bonfire of Saint John
I asked God in heaven, wow
Why such judgment
What a brazier, what a furnace
Not a plantation foot
For lack of water I lost my cattle
My sorrel died of thirst
even the white wing
flapped its wings
"So" I said goodbye Rosinha
keep my heart with you
Today many leagues away
in a sad loneliness
I wait for the rain to fall again
For me to go back to my wilderness
When the green of your eyes
spread out in the plantation
I assure you don't cry no, see
That I'll be back, see
My heart
(Luis Gonzaga)
