São Pedro Pescador

Saint Peter the Fisherman

São Pedro Pescador

Now I want to tell a storyAgora eu quero contá uma história
About a very famous fishermanDe um pescadô muito afamado
Looking at this audienceEu oiando pra essa plateia
I remembered in my mindEu lembrei na minha ideia
This story from the pastDessa história do passado
This story has long passedEssa história muito tempo já passô
From the life of a fishermanDa vida de um pescadô
That I saw in the marked bookQue eu vi no livro marcado

This man lived from fishingEsse home vivia de pescaria
To earn his sacred breadPara ganhar o pão sagrado
This man, his name was PeterEsse home, o seu nome era Pedro
He left home earlySaía de casa cedo
To seek his catchPra buscar o seu pescado
In the evening when the tide was ebbingDe noitinha que a maré tava abaixando
There came Peter returningLá vinha Pedro vortando
With his little boat loadedCom o seu barquinho lotado

He spread all the fish on the beachEstendia todo o peixe na praia
For people to buy his catchPara o povo comprar o seu pescado
At that time there was a lot of povertyNesse tempo muita pobreza existia
He sold very littleMuito pouco ele vendia
Because people were tightQue o povo tava apertado
But the heart of that manMas o coração daquele home
Seeing the people hungryVendo o povo com fome
Gave all the fish awayDava tudo o peixe dado

And so time passedE assim foi passando o tempo
Peter fishing for the villagePedro pescando pro povoado
One day while Peter was fishingCerto dia enquanto Pedro pescava
He threw his netSua rede atirava
He was already discouragedJá tava desacorçoado
He threw the net into the cold waterJogava a rede na água fria
It came back emptyEla vortava vazia
Without any fish caughtSem nenhum peixe maiado

When Peter went to the bankQuando Pedro foi pro barranco
He saw a bearded man sitting thereEnxergô lá um barbudo sentado
The bearded man said with a commanding voiceO barbudo disse com a voz de comando
Peter, do as I commandPedro, faça o que eu mando
Throw the net on the other sideJogue a rede do outro lado
And Peter threw the net with all his mightE Pedro jogou a rede com tudo
Just to show the bearded manSó pra mostrá pro barbudo
That the man was mistakenQue o home tava enganado

When Peter pulled the netQuando Pedro foi puxar a rede
His body got goosebumpsO seu corpo ficô arrepiado
The net was full of fishA rede tinha peixe que coaiava
Four men couldn't pull itQuatro home não puxava
Even if they were reinforcedNem que fosse reforçado
The bearded man who showed him the lightO barbudo que pra ele mostrou a luz
Was Master JesusEra o Mestre Jesus
Who redeemed us from sinQue remiu nóis do pecado

Now if a fisherman is a liarAgora se pescadô é mentiroso
It's Saint Peter who was blamedÉ São Pedro que foi curpado
Because in the book it says thisPorque lá no livro marca isto
That Peter walked with ChristQue Pedro andava com Cristo
But lied to the soldierMas mentiu para o sordado
And they asked if he was with the MessiahE perguntaro se ele andava com o Messia
He said he didn't even know himFalô que nem conhecia
And didn't have him by his sideE nem teve do seu lado

They say fishermen tell liesDiz que pescadô conta mentira
Many people have told meMuita gente tem me falado
That fishermen are all so lazyQue pescadô todos são tão preguiçoso
And they are also liarsE também são mentiroso
As the saying goesConforme diz o ditado
That fishermen really like to lieQue pescadô gosta muito de menti
When they catch a small fishQuando pega um lambari
They say they caught a big oneFala que pegô um dourado

Now I want to talk to PauloAgora eu quero falá com o Paulo
My dear friendCom o meu amigo estimado
Paulo, believe what I sayPaulo, acredite no que eu digo
He has always been my friendSempre foi o meu amigo
And considered by meE por mim considerado
Even on the beach in GuarujáAté na praia de Guarujá
We went for a walk togetherNóis fomo junto passeá
He was always by my sideSempre tava do meu lado

He said I went out with a transvestiteFalô que eu saí com travesti
And with him he says I was in troubleE com ele diz que eu passei apertado
In this world there are many wicked menNeste mundo tem muito home sacana
Who dress as womenQue se veste de baiana
To deceive usPra trazê a gente enganado
And that day I also got deceivedE nesse dia eu também me enganei
When I saw it was a gay manQuando eu vi que era gay
I stepped asideTirei o corpo de lado

With Galera it was differentCom o Galera a coisa foi diferente
Paulo was a bit complicatedO Paulo foi um pouco complicado
Because I don't know how it's possiblePois eu não sei como é que pode
For him to escape the blamePra ele fugir do bode
He went to live in another stateFoi morá em outro estado
And there he found a beautiful flowerE lá arrumô uma linda flor
And took his loveE levou o seu amor
Before the sacred altarDiante do artá sagrado

But Galera didn't knowSó que o Galera não sabia
That the bride was a disguised manQue a noiva era um home desfarçado
When I found outNa hora que eu fiquei ali sabendo
I ran out of the houseDe casa saí correndo
To warn my dear friendPra avisá meu estimado
The two were already inside the churchNa igreja os dois já tava lá dentro
I ended the weddingAcabei com o casamento
And Paulo was angryE o Paulo ficô zangado

I said, Paulo you're not going to get marriedEu falei, Paulo ocê não vai casá
He was a bit upsetEle ficô meio enfezado
I told him, let's go back with meFalei pra ele, comigo vamo vortá
The bride you haveEssa noiva que ocê tá
Is a effeminate manÉ home desmunhecado
I said, Paulo can't marry a manFalei, Paulo casá com home não pode
He'd be better off with the goatAntes ficasse com o bode
Which would be more fittingQue ficava mais ornado

Now I need to finishAgora eu preciso terminá
And my time is upE o meu tempo tá encerrado
I ask the Virgin MaryEu peço pra Santa Virgem Maria
Send peace and joyMande paz e alegria
Within our kingdomDentro do nosso reinado
And may the Holy TrinityE que a Santíssima Trindade
Cover us with happinessCubra de felicidade
Where we have dweltOnde nóis temo habitado
