English Translation

Sou igara nessas águas

I am a canoe in these waters

Sou a seiva dessas matas

I am the sap of these forests

E o ruflar das asas de um beija-flor

And the flutter of the wings of a hummingbird


Eu vivia em plena harmonia com a natureza

I lived in complete harmony with nature

Mas num triste dia o kariwa invasor

But on a sad day, the invading outsider

No meu solo sagrado pisou

Stepped on my sacred ground

Desbotando o verde das florestas

Fading the green of the forests

Garimpando o leito desses rios

Extracting from the bed of these rivers


Já são cinco séculos de exploração

Five centuries of exploitation have passed

Mas a resistência ainda pulsa no meu coração

But resistance still pulses in my heart

Na cerâmica Marajoara, no remo Sateré

In Marajoara pottery, in the Sateré paddle

Na plumária ka'apor, na pintura kadiwéu

In the Ka'apor featherwork, in the Kadiwéu painting

No muiraquitã da icamiaba

In the muiraquitã of the icamiaba


Na zarabatana Makú, no arco Mundurukú

In the Makú blowgun, in the Mundurukú bow

No manto Tupinambá, na flecha kamayurá

In the Tupinambá mantle, in the Kamayurá arrow

Na oração Dessana

In the Dessana prayer

Anauê nhandeva, anauê hei, hei, hei

Dos filhos deste solo és mãe gentil pátria amada Brasil
