Beija-flor me chamou: olha
Lua branca chegou na hora
O Beija-Mar me deu prova:
Uma estrela bem nova
Na luminária da mata
Força que vem e renova
Beija-Flor de amor me leva
Como o vento levou a folha
Minha Mamãe soberana
Minha Floresta de jóia
Tu que dás brilho na sombra
Brilhas também lá na praia
Beija-Flor me mandou embora
Trabalhar e abrir os olhos
Estrela d'Água me molha
Tudo que ama e chora
Some na curva do rio
Tudo é dentro e fora
Minha Floresta de jóia
Tem a água
tem a água
tem aquela imensidão
tem sombra da Floresta
tem a luz do coração
Bem-querer!!!
* Essa canção é o nome de um curumim do povo Kampa e é dedicada a todos os curumins de todas as raças do mundo
