English Translation

Bacuçu desce o rio bariri

Bacuçu goes down the Bariri river

Cambueiras caiu num vento só

Cambueiras fell in a single wind

Baquité derramou o pacamão

Baquité spilled the pacamão

Caburé esguitou um outro não

Caburé squawked another no


Esmarrido voltou pra banga a pé

Esmarrido returned to the banga on foot

Ouviu babaré se apavorou

Heard babaré, got scared

O som da ica se espalhou

The sound of ica spread

No igapó, atolado, ele chorou

In the igapó, stuck, he cried


Mas nunca se deixa abater!

But never let himself be defeated!

Pra sempre ele insiste em viver

Forever, he insists on living


O vento lhe disse que João

The wind told him that João

Viria em socorro lhe ajudar

Would come to help him

Maniçoba traria pra manjar

Maniçoba would bring for the feast

Amazônica janta desse chão

Amazonian dinner from this land


Cambapé da floresta ele levou

Cambapé from the forest, he took

Caiu, como sempre, levantou

Fell, as always, got up

Nadando contra o macaréu

Swimming against the macaréu

Maranduva parece maranhão

Maranduva seems like Maranhão


Maranduva maranha maranhão

Maranduva, tricking Maranhão
