Maybe, just maybe, grammatically speaking the lyric should be "Sou eu, Humaitá" which is I am (here), Humaitá, (to conquer you). So, the singers/fighters are announcing to the enemies inside of the fortification who were the ones, the strong black soldiers, who were about to fight them. It is probably a song to add fear into the Paraguayans troops.
Thank you for this!
