Quimera Cabocla

In the silence of the night
Serene full moon
In the calm waters
In the endless horizon
By the lake
In the straw house
I tell stories to my children
Oh oh oh oh

I got lost in the woods
When I came face to face with the Curupira
I wandered and wandered, the Caipora kept mocking me
There in the igapó I saw the Tapiraiauara emerge
I saw the big snake with eyes of fire looking at me
I swear I saw

In the community, at the party the conquering Boto
The flirt turning into a person, be careful cabocla here he comes
I saw the little black boy from Campo Grande, the voracious mouth of the Mapinguari
I saw the Juma the protector
Leafy animal the defender

I saw the enchantment of the most beautiful song of the Yara mother of water
I saw Matinta Perera, the Jurupari, I saw the Anhangá
My son believe in the story I'm going to tell you
I saw with my father and now I'm going to tell you
It's true
Be careful caboclo don't doubt

It's our Amazon
Our folklore
Our culture
Our tradition
Our tales and legends, stories of the land
That I tell here
In my Boi Bumbá
