Senhor da floresta

Lord of the forest

Um índio guerreiro da raça tupi

A Tupi warrior of the Tupi race

Vivia pescando

Lived fishing

Sentado na margem do rio Chuí

Sitting on the bank of the Chuí River


Seus olhos rasgados, no entanto

His slanting eyes, however

Fitavam ao longe uma taba

Gazed into the distance at a village

Na qual habitava

In which dwelled

A filha formosa de um morubixaba.

The beautiful daughter of a morubixaba.


Um dia encontraram

One day they found

Senhor da floresta no rio Chuí

Lord of the forest in the Chuí River

Crivado de flechas,

Pierced with arrows

De longe atiradas por outro tupi

From afar shot by another Tupi

E a filha formosa do morubixaba

And the beautiful daughter of the morubixaba

Quando anoiteceu, correu

When night fell, ran

Subindo a montanha

Climbing the mountain

No fundo do abismo desapareceu.

In the depths of the abyss disappeared.


Naquele momento

At that moment

Alguém viu no espaço, à luz do luar

Someone saw in space, in the moonlight

Senhor da floresta de braços abertos

Lord of the forest with arms open

Risonho a falar:

Smiling to say:

Ó virgem guerreira

O virgin warrior

Ó virgem mais pura que a luz da manhã,

O virgin purer than the morning light

Iremos agora unir nossas almas

We will now unite our souls

Aos pés de Tupã
