Kikiô was born in the centerKikiô nasceu no centro
Between mountains and the seaEntre montanhas e o mar
Kikiô saw everything beautifulKikiô viu tudo lindo
Every Indian around hereTodo índio por aqui
Indian America gave childrenÍndia América deu filhos
It was Tupi, it was GuaraniFoi Tupi, foi Guarani
Kikiô died happyKikiô morreu feliz
Leaving the land for bothDeixando a terra para os dois
Guarani went southGuarani foi pro sul
Tupi went northTupi pro norte

And they formed their tribesE formaram suas tribos
Each in their placeCada um em seu lugar
Sometimes they metVez em quando se encontravam
By the rivers of AmericaPelos rios da América
And fought together against theE lutavam juntos contra o
white man in search of servitudeBranco em busca de servidão
And suffered so much pain cornered in the backcountryE sofreram tantas dores acuados no sertão

Tupi entered the AmazonTupi entrou no Amazonas
Guarani still callsGuarani ainda chama
Kikiô on the full moonKikiô na Lua cheia
Whether Tupi or GuaraniQuer Tupi, quer Guarani
