     São Sebastião abé, / marana rerekoarûera, / tamuîa, kyre'ymbagûera, / omombab erimba'e; / n'i tybangáî setãmbûera. / Opá, — Paranapuku, / Îakutinga, Moro'y, / Sarigûeîa, Gûiryry, / Pindoba, Parigûasu, / Kurusá, Miape'y, / Îabebirasyka tapera — / akûeîme n'i poretáî. / I aûîé mu'amarûera; / oîoybyri se'õmbûera / paranã ybyri i kûáî.

     Saint Sebastian too, the patron of war, destroyed the Tamoio, the brave ones; their old lands don't exist anymore. None of them — Paranapucu, Jacutinga, Moroí, Sarigueia, Guiriri, Pindoba, Pariguaçu, Curuçá, Miapeí, Jabebiracica's village — have had anything for a long time. The enemies surrended; their bodies were side by side along the sea.
