Gateway to foreigners A long and unknown route Access to great wealth Rio doce is the way The ship sails towards the sea The night is cold, dark and silent The river runs between the woods Arrows coming towards the crew They all, shall fall Strange warriors take the ship The yellow waters turn into blood There's a calm before the storm It's a chaos! What hell's going on? A good change to run away There'll be nothing left tonight The wood seems a good place to hide Better than death or exile Run away, run away to the forest Run away, run away and hide Run away, that's the only alternative to survive
