Curupira

My eyes and hair dazzle with will-o'-the-wisps
My inverted feet lead to mazes
I am a creature of the leafy forest and mother of the woods
I am Curupira, I am an illusionist
I am a child born from animals

I am the protective entity of the forest
I am the metamorphosis of legends and chimeras
I am the big snake, Anhangá
I am the pink dolphin and the mapinguari
Macunaíma, Poronominaré
Juma and Jurupari
I am Curupira

When the animals breed
When the trees bloom
Riding on the back of a tocorimé
I come with all the jungle beasts
To the sound of Yara's singing, mother of water

I come to hunt hunters
I come to punish predators
I am the one who terrifies
The delusion of the invader
I am fear, hypnosis
The nightmare, the terror of the lost

Curupira, ah
Curupira, hah
Curupira, ah
