Arrival

I am Pataxó
I am Xavante and Cariri
Ianomani, I am Tupi
Guarani, I am Carajá
I am Pankararu
Carijó, Tupinajé
Potiguar, I am Caeté
Ful-ni-o, Tupinambá

After the seas divided the continents
I wanted to see different lands
I thought: I will look for
A new world
There beyond the horizon
I take the swinging net
To stretch out in the sun

I docked
In a very safe port
Blue sky, peace and fresh air
I put my legs up
Soon I dreamed
That I was in paradise
Where it wasn't even necessary
To sleep to dream

I am Pataxó
I am Xavante and Cariri
Ianomani, I am Tupi
Guarani, I am Carajá
I am Pankararu
Carijó, Tupinajé
Potiguar, I am Caeté
Ful-ni-o, Tupinambá

But suddenly
I woke up with the surprise
A Portuguese squadron
Came to dock on the beach
From the big ship
A white man with dark beard
Wearing armor
Pointed at me to catch me

And scared
I jumped off the net
I sensed hunger, thirst
I thought: They will finish me
I got up with a club already in hand
Oh, I felt in my heart
Brazil will begin

I am Pataxó
I am Xavante and Cariri
Ianomani, I am Tupi
Guarani, I am Carajá
I am Pankararu
Carijó, Tupinajé
Potiguar, I am Caeté
Ful-ni-o, Tupinambá
