Boi Tatá

A gleam in the river
In dark night is will-o'-the-wisp
Protective genius of the fields and waters
Big snake, boiaçú
Boiúna, boiúna, sucurijú
The beast that emerges from nothing

Goes through the body the shiver
The blood in the veins turns cold
The fire that water doesn't extinguish

A beam of light illuminates the darkness
His fiery eyes blaze
Covering holes, sailing rivers
The lady of the night at the mouth of the night
The lady of the night will arrive

Boitatá, boitatá
Fire in the air, fire in the air
Fire snake, boiaçú
Boiúna floats
