The Voice Of Nhanderu (VON)
He is the one who pushes the clouds across the sky
The strongest voice that echoes through the storms
He controls the wind, the weather and the rain
He is the breath of life that gives life to men
God of creation
Storm and thunder in the sky
God of lightning
Hear the voice of Nhanderu
Tupã-Cinunga, he is the thunder
Tupãberaba, he is the light
The supreme Being, whose voice is heard through the storms
He makes his dwelling in the sun
With the help from Arasy He descended from the sky
Made the forests and the animals and all that is found
Created men and placed the stars up in the sky
Made the spirits of good and evil to be our guide
God of creation
Storm and thunder in the sky
God of lightning
Hear the voice of Nhanderu
Tupã-Cinunga, he is the thunder
Tupãberaba, he is the light
The supreme Being, whose voice is heard through the storms
He makes his dwelling in the sun
A'e umàzàn y hiru iwaté a'e
Zinui muitè wi ze'eng uweraw mehè
A'e Ywitu iza'r, parupi, àmàn y kurà
A'e umu'r zanè rekuè zanew y
Children of the forest we are
Pray for Tupã to guide us
With bow and arrow we fight
We’ll paint our skin and raise our spears
Sing and dance with all the songs of war
We are warriors and it’s in our blood
Pytajovái will make us have no fear
We’ll no longer suffer anymore
