The drum is beating,
The drum is beating,
The drum is beating
Beat the drum.
Drum beats the chieftain arrived here.
He walks at a steady pace,
He walks at a steady pace,
He walks at a steady pace
Here inside the wheel
He brings the mysteries
Of this large forest
Here in our turn
Rhei, Rhei, Rhei.
Re, re, re, re, Rhei.
He walks at a steady pace,
He walks at a steady pace,
He walks at a steady pace
Let's firm ourselves
He is a healer and has the knowledge
Of the tribe Tupinambá.
Rhei, Rhei, Rhei.
Baluaê Rha, Rha, Rha.
The drum is beating,
The drum is beating,
The drum is beating
And his tribe will come.
Here inside the wheel
Steps of step
They go dancing.
The brightness of the moon
It is illuminating us
And fire of the bonfire
It is blessing us.
The sun there in the heights
The heavenly universe
Long live the divine beings,
Deliver us from all evil.
Spread the medicine
Raise the sick.
And the natives of the woods
Here in our midst.
The drum is beating,
The drum is beating,
The drum is beating
And our party rejoicing.
Salve all the children,
Long live the Divine Eternal Father
And our sovereign mother
