Caboclo da Amazônia

The lantern lights the way
Of the caboclo of the Amazon
Machete and cane in hand
He doesn't tire of the work
He will face his fate
In the canoe of hope
Fishing life in these waters
The certainty of tomorrow
In the firmness of the paddles
There's fish in the net
Flour and cassava on his table
Caboclo of the Amazon
There's fish in the net
Flour and cassava on his table
Caboclo of the Amazon

In the flooded plain, a jute worker dives fearlessly
In search of fibers in the waters
The cowboy milks early
And at the bow of the canoe
The fisherman throws the cast net
On solid ground
The rubber tapper smokes the rubber
The piassava gatherer ventures into the woods
The flour maker draining his tipiti

In June he wields a spear
Chimera is to play since childhood
At the Garantido bull festival
In June he wields a spear
Chimera is to play since childhood
At the Garantido bull festival
