Verse 1
No sopro do vento eu vi o Saci,
In the whispering wind I saw Saci.
Travessuras sombrias zombando de mim,
Dark little tricks, he is laughing at me.
Pulou na fumaça, sumiu no chão,
Jumped in the smoke, vanished alone.
É sombra que dança na escuridão.
A shadow that dances in the storm unknown.
Chorus
Ô Brasil, canta sua tradição,
Oh Brazil, sing your ancient song.
Entre fogo e lenda ecoa a paixão,
Through fire and legend the heart beats strong.
Entre assombro e festa dá pra sentir,
Between fear and joy it’s wild and free.
O folclore eterno jamais vai sumir.
Folklore eternal, forever will be.
Verse 2
A mula sem cabeça começou a gritar,
The headless mule screams, burning in the dark.
Chamas no vento difícil encarar,
Flames in the night, a terrifying spark.
O Curupira corre, guardião sem igual,
Curupira runs, protector of all.
Com pés ao contrário defende o quintal.
With backward feet he will answer the call.
Chorus
Ô Brasil, canta sua tradição,
Oh Brazil, sing your ancient song.
Entre fogo e lenda ecoa a paixão,
Through fire and legend the heart beats strong.
Entre assombro e festa dá pra sentir,
Between fear and joy it’s wild and free.
O folclore eterno jamais vai sumir.
Folklore eternal, forever will be.

Bridge
Boitatá clareia a noite ao luar,
Boitatá lights up the night with fire.
Serpente em chamas, difícil escapar.
Flaming serpent, a deadly desire.
E a Iara canta nas águas do rio,
And Iara sings in the river’s flow,
Seu canto seduz e te leva pro frio.
Her siren song drags you down below.
Final Chorus
Ô Brasil, canta sua tradição,
Oh Brazil, sing your ancient song.
Entre fogo e lenda ecoa a paixão,
Through fire and legend the heart beats strong.
Entre assombro e festa dá pra sentir,
Between fear and joy it’s wild and free.
O folclore eterno jamais vai sumir.
Folklore eternal, forever will be.
