A Estrada
Pandeiro do Mestre
The Road
The road descended from the Sun
But before it was also the Moon
And it's a stone that continues
The evolution towards affection
I never walk alone
I always come accompanied
Master guide by my side
I shall not err on the journey
Call the king of the Indians soon
(Call my Indian caboclo)
That I work the coconut
Dance the toré in the yard
And I learned to sing swiftly to know the road
(He who knows the road chooses the best shortcut)
And the road descended that passes
And will pass through many names
May the manna you eat today
Keep the carcass alive
May the energy pass through
The gathering of the creature
Who knows the healing plant
Won't buy it at the pharmacy
The power of hunting is worth more
Inside the dense forest
Call the king of the Indians soon
(Call my Indian caboclo)
That I work the coconut
Dance the toré in the yard
And I learned to sing swiftly to know the road
(He who knows the road chooses the best shortcut)
