Eu vi brilhar, eu vi

I saw shining, I saw

No meio da mata, eu vi

In the midst of the forest, I saw

A pena de prata do Caboclo Guaracy

The silver feather of Caboclo Guaracy


O seu arco é de ouro do sol

His bow is made of sun gold

Sua flecha é um raio de lua

His arrow is a moonbeam

Guardião da floresta

Guardian of the forest

Real sentinela da mata que é sua

True sentinel of the forest that is his own


Ele é filho da dona do rio

He is the son of the owner of the river

E se benze com a erva que queima

And blesses himself with the burning herb

Bebe a água da casca do pé de aroeira

Drinks the water from the bark of the aroeira tree

E licor de jurema

And jurema liquor


Kiô, kiô, kiô, kiô, que era

Seu Guaracy vigia a mata

Seu Guaracy domina a fera
