A Festa do Boto

A noise, a celebration, the sweat of a woman
In a night of desire, in the whistle that comes
It comes from leagues, from abyssal swirls
It comes in the dreams of the caboclas from the eaves
It comes like a tidal bore, it comes like a big snake
It comes to enchant you

In the dark dive the waters reveal
A strange world
Iaras call for you

Naked nymphs dance, stingrays
Trumpets play, men, crustaceans, and fish

Come feel the hoarse voice of the waters
Come dance in the ballet of schools of fish
Gills, fins, scales
The cabocla, the kiss, the love, surrenders to the seductive boto
In the serpent castle, it will dance

Boiúnas stairways that guard the palace
Pillars of coral shells sustain the reign
Of the master of fish, the lord of aquatic beings

Come, there's a boto party, there's the lover of the night
Masked in shadows, comes to love you
In the enchantment of the boto, come dance
