Berimbau
Language: Portuguese (Português)
Os aguapés dos aguaçais Nos igapós dos Japurás Bolem, bolem, bolem. Chama o saci: - Si si si si! - Ui ui ui ui ui! Uiva a iara Nos aguaçais dos igapós Dos Japurás e dos Purus. A mameluca é uma maluca. Saiu sozinha da maloca - O boto bate - bite bite... Quem ofendeu a mameluca? Foi o boto! O Cussaruim bota quebrantos. Nos aguaçais os aguapés - Cruz, canhoto! - Bolem... Peraus dos Japurás De assombramentos e de espantos!...
