Saci Perere

[Intro] (Instrumental: Lively acoustic guitar riff, shaker percussion, handclaps building) [Verse 1] Deep within the emerald green Where ancient forest secrets gleam Lives a legend, quick and sly With a sparkle in his eye! Just one leg, but don't be slow Watch him leap and watch him go! Saci Pererê, the boy so free A trickster spirit, wild and glee! [Chorus] Oh, Saci Pererê! (Hey!) Red cap magic, come what may! (Hey!) He spins a whirlwind, dust takes flight! Vanishes quick, out of sight! Listen close for his whistle sound! Mischief maker, all around! Saci Pererê! (Hey!) Saci Pererê! (Hey!) [Verse 2] That little cap, a crimson flame Grants his powers, fuels his game! He'll hide your shoe, tie knots so tight Make your milk turn sour overnight! A sudden breeze, a rustling sound Is Saci playing tricks around? He laughs and hops on his single foot Leaving confusion in his soot! [Chorus] Oh, Saci Pererê! (Hey!) Red cap magic, come what may! (Hey!) He spins a whirlwind, dust takes flight! Vanishes quick, out of sight! Listen close for his whistle sound! Mischief maker, all around! Saci Pererê! (Hey!) Saci Pererê! (Hey!) [Verse 3] He whistles tunes both sharp and clear A warning sound for all to hear! Or maybe just to lure you near Into a prank, dispelling fear? See the dust devil rise and spin? That's where Saci's dance begins! A swirling column, fast and low Where did he come from? Where did he go? [Chorus] Oh, Saci Pererê! (Hey!) Red cap magic, come what may! (Hey!) He spins a whirlwind, dust takes flight! Vanishes quick, out of sight! Listen close for his whistle sound! Mischief maker, all around! Saci Pererê! (Hey!) Saci Pererê! (Hey!) [Bridge] Respect the forest, tread with care! For Saci's magic fills the air! He guards the woods, both night and day In his own peculiar way! A playful spirit, full of jest Putting your patience to the test! [Chorus] Oh, Saci Pererê! (Hey!) Red cap magic, come what may! (Hey!) He spins a whirlwind, dust takes flight! Vanishes quick, out of sight! Listen close for his whistle sound! Mischief maker, all around! Saci Pererê! (Hey!) Saci Pererê! (Hey!) [Outro] (Instrumental fade: Guitar, percussion, claps, whistling sound effect, gradually slowing)
