Legends of the Forest

The saci spun around
Windstorm in the hut
The young lady stumbled
Performed a mironga in the field

The saci spun around
Windstorm in the hut
The young lady stumbled
Performed a mironga in the field

These are things the eye can't see
And the soul can perceive
Mischievous, oh Caxambu!
Touch the foot of the Juá
It's a mystery the power to believe
Foundations that come from there
The forest creature disappears (let's go!)
Hid in the Juremá

The saci spun around
Windstorm in the hut
The young lady stumbled
Performed a mironga in the field

The saci spun around
Windstorm in the hut
The young lady stumbled
Performed a mironga in the field

The native knows the legends of the forest
The native brings the silver bullet
For the midnight howl
Full moon, dawn
Of spell and shamanism
The enchanted legend is made

The native knows the legends of the forest
The native brings the silver bullet
For the midnight howl
Full moon, dawn
Of spell and shamanism
The enchanted legend is made
Oh, of spell and shamanism
The enchanted legend is made

The saci spun around
Windstorm in the hut
The young lady stumbled
Performed a mironga in the field

The saci spun around
Windstorm in the hut
The young lady stumbled
Performed a mironga in the field

These are things the eye can't see
And the soul can perceive
Mischievous, oh Caxambu!
Touch the foot of the Juá
It's a mystery the power to believe
Foundations that come from there
The forest creature disappears
Hid in the Juremá

The saci spun around
Windstorm in the hut
The young lady stumbled
Performed a mironga in the field

The saci spun around
Windstorm in the hut
The young lady stumbled
Performed a mironga in the field

The native knows the legends of the forest
The native brings the silver bullet
For the midnight howl
Full moon, dawn
Of spell and shamanism
The enchanted legend is made

The native knows the legends of the forest
The native brings the silver bullet
For the midnight howl
Full moon, dawn
Of spell and shamanism
The enchanted legend is made
Of spell and shamanism
The enchanted legend is made

The saci spun around
Windstorm in the hut
The young lady stumbled
Performed a mironga in the field

And the saci spun around
Windstorm in the hut
The young lady stumbled
Performed a mironga in the field

Who rules the forest is Oxossi
(Who rules the forest is Oxossi)
(Oxossi is a hunter, Oxossi is a hunter)
Who rules the forest is Oxossi
(Who rules the forest is Oxossi)
(Oxossi is a hunter, Oxossi is a hunter)
