Legendary Tales

In quiet and warm heart of jungle
Many stories can be heard
About fantastic creatures that live in
Amazonia

The protector and essence of the forest
Feet facing backwards
A child with green teeth and flame hair
Hostile to its enemies

Delightful voice and terrific beauty
Seducing men down the river
Siren carries the men home
Nobody was seen anymore

Still in the river Boto lives
Turning into a man with his hat
At full Moon night, he always comes
Making girls pregnant

Following the Moon’s reflection
Drowning dark waters
The risen flower is a solitude
Naiá is now Vitória-Régia

Among ancient untold tales
There is one that stands out
A story about two brothers
And why they never talked again

Protector of the forest, a golden boy
A brave warrior, Curupira
In his shadows, his brother lives
Pure jealousy, Pirarucu

Full of envy, full of hate
Pirarucu starts revenge
Not a fight, not a shame
Will be hit in his heart

Poor Naiá, admiring Jaci
Hand in hand is just fantasy
Pirarucu encouraged her
To make her dream come true

A dark smile in his face
Lets tragedy take place
Inch by inch, his love is gone
While the girl slowly drowned

Iara and Boto, Curupira's friends
Expert swimmers, looked for her again
On that night, her body and soul
Belong to Solimões

Despair, sorrow and hate could be seen in his eyes
Full of emptiness
In his chest, Curupira holds back the tears
Unblessed bro
You will pay the price for your cold blood
To leave my love to die
Bastard, I swear you will never come back again

Curupira runs around the hills
Protecting all creatures in the night
Spirit of the forest always wins
Despite all evil from mankind
The great warrior Piracuru
Has bad nature in his heart
In order to reign in the woods
Betraying his brother Curupira

The God Tupã had to interfere
The punishment was so severe
His body was carried by Tocantins
Turned into a huge red fish

Curupira runs around the hills
Protecting all creatures in the night
Spirit of the forest always wins
Despite all evil from mankind
The great warrior Piracuru
Has bad nature in his heart
In order to reign in the woods
Betraying his brother Curupira
