Festa do Povo Vermelho

Playing as a bull is to have passion in the heart
It's to have love for tradition
To surrender body and soul
To feel that the body is a canoe
And sway in this river
The current is the tune that speeds up mixing
And creates a Brazilian sound

Feel the sound
Feel the strength of the drum calling you
To this land of emotion
Come to the island of the ox-bumba!

Come and bask in the hot afternoons
Come hear the sound of the drum
And feel the heart beating like the drumming

A different sway is my folklore
It's the culture of these people that I will show
It's of the people, it's my people!

Guaranteed is the freedom of this expression
It's the art, it's the desire to play as a bull in Parintins
It's here that we play as a bull, this is how we play as a bull

I will conquer all of Brazil
In the purity of my red people
It's here that we play as a bull

I will conquer all of Brazil
In the purity of my red people
This is how we play as a bull

Feel the sound
