Tu Tu Tu Tupi

Tu Tu Tu Tu
Tu Tupi

Everyone has
a little bit of Indian
inside themselves
inside themselves

Everyone speaks
Indian language
Tupi Guarani
Tupi Guarani

And the old chief used to say
there are things that we know
and don't know we know

and oh oh

The Indian walked through Brazil
gave names to everything he saw
If the Indian gave a name, it's given!
If the Indian spoke, it's spoken!
If the Indian shook
it's shaken!
and oh oh

Shake the rattle
Shake the rattle
let's shake
let's shake
Shake the rattle
Shake the rattle
the Indian will speak:

If the Indian spoke it's spoken
if the Indian shook
