English Translation

Acauã, acauã vive cantando

Acauã, acauã lives singing

Durante o tempo do verão

During the summertime

No silêncio das tardes agourando

In the silence of the afternoons, foretelling

Chamando a seca pro sertão

Calling for the drought in the hinterland

Chamando a seca pro sertão

Calling for the drought in the hinterland

Acauã,

Acauã,

Acauã,

Acauã,

Teu canto é penoso e faz medo

Your song is mournful and frightening

Te cala acauã,

Be silent, acauã,

Que é pra chuva voltar cedo

So that the rain may return soon

Que é pra chuva voltar cedo

So that the rain may return soon

Toda noite no sertão

Every night in the hinterland

Canta o João Corta-Pau

João Corta-Pau sings

A coruja, mãe da lua

The owl, mother of the moon

A peitica e o bacurau

The peitica and the bacurau

Na alegria do inverno

In the joy of winter

Canta sapo, gia e rã

Frogs, crickets, and frogs sing

Mas na tristeza da seca

But in the sadness of the drought

Só se ouve acauã

Only the acauã is heard

Só se ouve acauã

Only the acauã is heard

Acauã, Acauã...

Acauã, Acauã...
