Ao Compasso do Tambor
Pocahontas
To the Beat of the Drum
Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega
Ya-hi-ye ne-he hega
Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega
Ya-hi-ye ne-he hega
To the beat of the drum
Play the flute this song
Corn and fruit with love
Come with each season
In the clear river that comes,
Lives the trout and the sturgeon
And from Mother Nature
The pumpkin and the bean are born.
Look to the spirit
To maintain the tradition!
The sacred fire will
Protect this nation!
The seeds will sprout
To the beat of the drum,
Come with each season,
To the beat of the drum!
Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega
Ya-hi-ye ne-he hega
Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega
Ya-hi-ye ne-he hega hega hega...
