Pantanal Circle Dance
Carandá is a plant
It's a plant from the Pantanal
Carandá is a coconut tree
Coconut tree from the Pantanal
From the leaf comes a fan
A fan to wave
A mat comes out to lie down
A horse comes out to play
A mat comes out to lie down
A horse comes out to play
(Acaba! Group In search of the lost prayer
of the horse's hoof, a piece of poem
On the Pantanal face, a starting point)
Who knows Carandá
Who knows camalote
Who knows Tarumã
Is from the Pantanal
Who knows Carandá
Who knows camalote
Who knows Tarumã
Is from the Pantanal
(Being from the Pantanal is to smell the fruit
Swim in muddy waters, row in flowing waters
Being from the Pantanal is the escape from death!
It's the search for life)
Smells like camalote
Tastes like Tarumã
Smells like camalote
Tastes like Tarumã
Pantaneiro, it's time for you to sing
Pantaneira, it's time for you to dance
Show me this circle dance
Born in the Pantanal

Born in the Pantanal
Duckling from the lagoon
Tuiuiú from the Pantanal
Duckling from the lagoon
Tuiuiú from the Pantanal
Duckling catches the fish
Tuiuiú comes to take
Duckling catches the fish
Tuiuiú comes to take
Duckling catches the fish
Tuiuiú comes to take
On the edge of a thousand lagoons, I paddle my canoe
On the edge of a thousand lagoons, I paddle my canoe
I don't pass this mark, I'm wet by the flood
I don't pass this mark, I'm wet by the flood
I'm burned by the sun
On the edge of a thousand lagoons
Pipirá coming up
Big fish comes behind
Pipirá coming up
Big fish comes behind
In the flower of this camalote, my song is not of death
In the flower of this camalote, my song is not of death
Jenipapo is strong bait, fisherman from the Pantanal

I'm a Pantanal donkey
I'm a Pantanal cow
I'm a Pantanal donkey
I'm a Pantanal cow
On the leaf that the water takes
It takes the good and takes the bad
On the leaf that the water takes
It takes the good and takes the bad
I'm a Pantanal donkey
I'm a fruit of the Pantanal
But where Carandá is born, Caraguatá doesn't grow
Where Carandá is born, Caraguatá doesn't grow
Where there's Caraguatá, there's an armadillo hole
Where there's Caraguatá, there's an armadillo hole
Where there's Caraguatá, a horse can't walk
Pantaneiro, it's time for you to sing
Pantaneira, it's time for you to dance
