English Translation

Senhor da floresta, um índio guerreiro da raça tupy

Lord of the forest, a warrior Indian of the Tupi race

Vivia pescando, sentado na margem do rio Chuí.

Lived fishing, 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 a filha formosa de um morubixaba.

Where dwelled the beautiful daughter of a Morubixaba.


Um dia encontraram senhor da floresta no rio Chuí

One day they found the lord of the forest in the Chuí river

Crivado de flechas, de longe atiradas por outro tupy

Riddled with arrows, shot from afar by another Tupi

E a filha formosa do morubixaba

And the beautiful daughter of the Morubixaba

Quando anoiteceu, correu,

When night fell, she ran,

Subindo a montanha, no fundo do abismo desapareceu.

Climbing the mountain, she disappeared into the abyss.


Naquele momento, alguém viu no espaço, à luz do luar

At that moment, someone saw in the space, in the moonlight

Senhor da floresta de braços abertos, risonho a falar:

Lord of the forest with open arms, smiling to speak:


- ó virgem guerreira, ó virgem mais pura que a luz da manhã,

- O virgin warrior, O virgin purer than the morning light,


Iremos agora unir nossas almas aos pés de tupã.

We will now unite our souls at the feet of Tupã.
