《地球累了》是委內瑞拉作曲家葛勞 (Alberto Grau、1937年生)為關心地球暖化問題而創作的歌曲。樂曲開頭，由四聲部一遍又一遍地唱出主題「地球累了」(Kasar mie la gaji)，堆疊出蕭瑟的氣氛，同時也伴隨著模仿風聲的下行滑音，以及石塊撞擊的切分節奏，把宛如沙漠般荒涼的景象呈現人前。
葛勞運用充滿生命力的原住民曲調及祭典般的舞蹈節奏，宛如祈求上天；相似的動機在逐漸加快的速度中不斷增強音樂的張力，荒蕪的沙漠開始發出哀嚎:風聲、石礫聲、地鳴、甚至是大地的哭泣。舞台上，表演者以歌聲及舞蹈，高聲吶喊的同時，彷彿也懷著虔敬的心，理解並回應著大地的悲鳴，充滿熱情及張力的歌聲之中，也提醒著我們-地球真的累了!
Composer, director, and teacher Alberto Grau (b. 1937) is one of the leading musical personalities in the history of contemporary Venezuelan music. Grau has written this piece to call for an international mobilization to save the Earth and a conscientious effort regarding the problems of the environment. Kasar Mie La Gaji sets a text from a dialect of the Sahel region, a part of Africa that stretches across the entire continent from east to west, south of the Sahara but north of Sudanian Savanna, with its southern end connecting to a sea. The text “Kasar Mie La Gaji” means “the earth is tired” and Grau uses a number of sounds, not only singing, to evoke the sense of a powerful, non-human presence expressing weariness, pain, and anger.
