Kikiô nasceu no centro

Kikiô was born in the center

Entre montanhas e o mar

Between mountains and the sea

Kikiô viu tudo lindo

Kikiô saw everything beautiful

Todo índio por aqui

Every Indian around here

Índia América deu filhos

Foi Tupi, foi Guarani

They were Tupi, they were Guarani

Kikiô morreu feliz

Kikiô died happy

Deixando a terra para os dois

Leaving the land for both

Guarani foi pro sul

Guarani went to the south

Tupi pro norte

Tupi to the north


E formaram suas tribos

And they formed their tribes

Cada um em seu lugar

Each in their own place

Vez em quando se encontravam

Every now and then they met

Pelos rios da América

By the rivers of America

E lutavam juntos contra o

And fought together against the

branco em busca de servidão

white man seeking servitude

E sofreram tantas dores acuados no sertão

And suffered so much pain cornered in the backcountry


Tupi entrou no Amazonas

Tupi entered the Amazon

Guarani ainda chama

Guarani still calls

Kikiô na lua cheia

Kikiô on the full moon

Quer Tupi, quer Guarani

Whether Tupi, whether Guarani
