Pio de sabiá, sariquê
Nightingale's song, sariquê
Caxinguelê, maracajá
Caxinguelê, maracajá
Voo de mache, tapere
Flight of mache, tapere
Saci Pererê, Boitatá
Saci Pererê, Boitatá
Quando os bichos e seres saírem
When the creatures and beings emerge
De dentro da mata fechada
From deep within the thick forest
Se ouviram gritos da noite
If they heard cries of the night
Estalos de açoite pela madrugada
Cracks of whip through the dawn
Arrepiou, vai-te embora
It sent shivers, go away
Assobiou a Caipora
Whistled at Caipora
Arrepiou, vai-te embora
It gave me chills, go away
Assobiou a Caipora
The Caipora whistled
Arrepiou, vai-te embora
It gave me chills, go away
Assobiou a Caipora
The Caipora whistled
Arrepiou, vai-te embora
It gave me chills, go away
Assobiou a Caipora
The Caipora whistled
Assobiou a Caipora
The Caipora whistled
Pio de sabiá, sariquê
Chirp of the sabiá, sariquê
Caxinguelê, maracajá
Caxinguelê, maracajá
Voo de mache, tapere
Flight of mache, tapere
Saci Pererê, Boitatá
Saci Pererê, Boitatá
Quando os bichos e seres saírem
When the creatures and beings come out
De dentro da mata fechada
From within the dense forest
Se ouviram gritos da noite
You hear screams of the night
Estalos de açoite pela madrugada
Cracks of a whip through the dawn
Arrepiou, vai-te embora
It sent chills, go away
Assobiou a Caipora
Whistled the Caipora
Arrepiou, vai-te embora
It sent chills, go away
Assobiou a Caipora
Whistled the Caipora
Arrepiou, vai-te embora
It sent chills, go away
Assobiou a Caipora
Whistled at the Caipora
Arrepiou, vai-te embora
It gave me chills, go away
Assobiou a Caipora
Whistled at the Caipora
Assobiou a Caipora
Whistled at the Caipora
Assobiou a Caipora
Whistled at the Caipora
