Carcará

Carcará
Hunts, kills, and eats
Carcará won't die of hunger
Carcará
Out in the backcountry

It's a bird that flies like an airplane
It's a mean bird
Has a hooked beak like a hawk

Carcará when it sees a burnt field
Flies away, singing, carcará
Goes to hunt (carcará)
Carcará eats even burnt snakes

When the rainy season comes
In the backcountry, there are no more burnt fields
Carcará still doesn't go hungry
The lambs born in the lowlands

Carcará hunts, kills, and eats
Carcará won't die of hunger
Carcará, more courage than a man
Carcará hunts, kills, and eats

Carcará is mean, is a bully
Is the eagle from my backcountry
The young lambs can't walk
He grabs them by the beak until they die

Carcará hunts, kills, and eats
Carcará won't die of hunger
Carcará, more courage than a man
Carcará hunts, kills, and eats
