The crumbling soil
Is clouding our river sea *
Amazon, river of my life
Lovely image of God？s creation
You made the sky, the forest and the land
You brought together the "caboclos" **
You created love
Let the drums roll
What I want is TIC, TIC, TIC, TAC, ***
That is the rhythm that makes my "boi" swing
and people from all over come join the dance
* As they call the Amazon because of the huge volume of it？s water
** Indian / white metis
*** The rhythm of the drum
