Carcará
Nara Leão Lyrics

Carcará, pega mata e come
The carcará bird catches prey in the forest and consumes it for survival

Carcará, não vai morrer de fome
The carcará bird will not starve to death as it has the ability to hunt and find food

Carcará, mais coragem do que hôme
The carcará bird is braver and more courageous than humans

Carcará, lá no sertão
The carcará bird lives in the rural and dry interior region of Brazil

É um bicho que avôa que nem avião
The carcará bird flies like a plane

É um pássaro malvado
The carcará bird is a wicked bird

Tem o bico volteado que nem gavião
The carcará bird has a curved beak like a hawk

Carcará, quando vê roça queimada
When the carcará bird sees a burned field, it starts to fly and sing, announcing its hunt

Sai voando e cantando, Carcará
It flies and sings as it prepares to hunt

Vai fazer sua caçada
It goes for the hunt

Carcará, come inté cobra queimada
The carcará bird eats even burnt snakes

Mas quando chega o tempo da invernada
But when winter comes

No sertão não tem mais roça queimada
There are no more burned fields in the rural interior region

Carcará mesmo assim não passa fome
The carcará bird still manages to find food and not starve

Os burrêgo que nascem na baixada
The lambs that are born in the lowlands

Carcará, pega mata e come
The carcará bird catches prey in the forest and consumes it for survival

Carcará, não vai morrer de fome
The carcará bird will not starve to death as it has the ability to hunt and find food

Carcará, mais coragem do que hôme
The carcará bird is braver and more courageous than humans

Carcará, é malvado é valentão
The carcará bird is wicked and brave

É a águia lá do meu sertão
It is the eagle of my rural interior land

Os burrêgo novinho não podem andar
The newborn lambs cannot walk

Êle pega no umbigo inté matar
The carcará bird catches the lambs by the umbilical cord and kills them

Carcará . . .
The carcará bird
