Awa Guajá – A Oferenda
Boi Caprichoso
Awa Guajá - The Offering
Uncertain future, uncertain destiny
Without the forest, the offering
The honey, the water, the land
There will be no tomorrow
Awa, Awa Guajá
Awa, Awa Guajá
Everything prepared for the Takajá Rite
Awa, Awa Guajá
Awa, Awa Guajá
Everything prepared for the Takajá Rite
The hut set up, covered with straw
For those who come down from the sky, oh-oh-oh
The village prepares, the song consecrates
For those who come down from the sky, oh-oh-oh
At the top of the hut, the silver thread
The link, the gap, the ladder
With the spiritual world
To the sound of the song the shaman opens the portal
(hey, hey, hey, hey)
Phosphorescent, incandescent
Luminous celestial forest
Ancient Awa metamorphosed
Into beings, into beings, aaah
Animals, plants, spectral
Fantastic, lunatic, bringing healing
The strength, the song, the struggle of the Awa
Awa, Awa, Awa, Awa - Awa Guajá!
Play the drum, play the drum
Wake up people of the sky
The time is now, the future is not far
Greed is the rope that strangles us
The Karawaras song echoes
Come with the Awa Shaman to heal the earth (heya, heya)
And expel the Karaia
Your forest, my forest
Your forest, my forest
How long for our world?
How much time do we have left?
Your forest, my forest
Your forest, my forest
How long for our world?
How much time do we have left?
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
(he-he-heyá, he)
The healing of the earth!
Awa, Awa Guajá
Awa, Awa Guajá
Everything prepared for the Takajá Rite
Awa, Awa Guajá
Awa, Awa Guajá
Everything prepared for the Takajá Rite
