Cuidado Iracema

I took a 'thing'
Put it inside a train
And went to look for more peace
Out there with Iracema
Iracema

Well, I didn't reach Santana de Ipanema
I've heard at the foot of the mountain
A 'tei-tei'

From the road, I saw many people
It was forró from the foothills and I shouted

Run Iracema
Look out for the barrier, Iracema
Cliff Iracema, run!

Beware Iracema
Macambira tears the skirt
There are animals, there are centipedes
There are caterpillars and snakes that bite, kill them

Don't be afraid of the caterpillar Iracema
and the snake that bites, kill them

Kill, kill, kill Iracema
And the longing is very ungrateful
