O Tambor da Terra
Boi Caprichoso
The Drum of the Earth
America, whoever called you that
Was the one who hurt you
For us, you are Pachamama!
(Hey, hey)
Play the drums
Play the drums
Play the drums in the arena
Play the drums
Play the drums
Play the drums in the arena
Resistance is dance
Faith and art is dance
Abya Yala is dance!
Amerindian dance!
Amerindian homeland, ah!
Come, my people, the party has begun!
(Hey ha-ha, hey ha-ha, hey, ha-ha, oh) hey-hey
(Hey ha-ha, hey ha-ha, hey, ha-ha, oh) hey-hey
(Hey ha-ha, hey ha-ha, hey, ha-ha, oh) hey-hey
(Hey ha-ha, hey ha-ha, hey, ha-ha, oh) hey-hey
It's a party, it's singing - light the bonfire!
Feathers, incense, painting, capoeira
Arrow, club, mace, full moon
Ripe land, borderless Iyambae
(Eagle, harpy, condor, hawk)
Abya Yala, your cradle, your land!
The green, the struggle, the march to the land
And our hands joined for the war cry
(Heya, heya, hey!)
Come, my people, the dance has begun!
(Hey ha-ha, hey ha-ha, hey, ha-ha, oh) dance!
(Hey ha-ha, hey ha-ha, hey, ha-ha, oh) sing!
(Hey ha-ha, hey ha-ha, hey, ha-ha, oh) hey!
Hey ha-ha, hey ha-ha, hey, ha-ha, oh
Tuxauas, trocanos, torés, shamans!
(Shamans! Shamans!) Shamans!
(Hey-ha, hey-ha, hey-ha, hey-ha, hey)
Play the drums
Play the drums
Play the drums in the arena
Play the drums
Play the drums
Play the drums in the arena
Resistance is dance (dance!)
Faith and art is dance (dance!)
Abya Yala is dance!
Amerindian dance!
Amerindian homeland, ah!
Come, my people, the party has begun!
(Hey ha-ha, hey ha-ha, hey, ha-ha, oh) [hey-hey]
(Hey ha-ha, hey ha-ha, hey, ha-ha, oh) [hey-hey]
(Hey ha-ha, hey ha-ha, hey, ha-ha, oh) [hey-hey]
(Hey ha-ha, hey ha-ha, hey, ha-ha, oh) [hey-hey]
It's dance! (Heya, heya, hey)
Dance! (Heya, heya, hey)
Dance! (Heya, heya, hey)
Light the bonfire for the dance!
