Carcará [English translation]

Caracara

In the backcountry there

It's a creature flies like an airplane

It's a mean bird

With a crooked beak like a hawk's

Caracara

When it sees the scorched crop

It flies away, screeching,

Caracara

Going on a hunt

Caracara eats charred snake even

When the chill weather comes

In the backcountry there's no more scorched crop

Caracara doesn't starve though

The mules that roam downhill

Caracara

Gonna snatch, kill and eat

Caracara

Not gon' starve

Caracara

Got more guts than men

Caracara

Gonna snatch, kill and eat

Caracara is mean, is a bully

It's the eagle there of my backcountry

The little mules they can't wander off

It pulls on their belly 'till they dead

Caracara

Gonna snatch, kill and eat

Caracara

Not gon' starve

Caracara

Got more guts than men

Caracara
