Canoeiro

Sunday afternoon, I was really out of itDomingo de tardezinha, eu estava mesmo à toa
I invited my partner to go fishing in the lakeConvidei meu companheiro, pra ir pescar na lagoa
Let's take the cast netLevemos a rede de lanço
Oh, then we went canoe fishingAi, ai fomos pescá de canoa

I took my gear to catch a good fishEu levei meus apreparos pra dar uma pescada boa
I soon left calmly, paddling my canoeEu saí logo sereno, remando minha canoa
Every stroke I tookCada remada que eu dava
Oh, there was a swing on the bowAi, ai dava um balanço na proa

I went down the river, paddling my canoeFui descendo rio abaixo, remando minha canoa
The canoe was tearing up and laying down the cattailsA canoa foi rasgando foi deitando as taboa
I saw the heron from afarA garça avistei de longe
Oh, come closer, she fliesAi, ai chega perto ela avoa

The river was getting very high, I pulled the canoe overO rio tava enchendo muito, fui encostando a canoa
I went into a low tide and came out into another lakeEu entrei numa vazante fui saí noutra lagoa
I was stirring that mudFui mexendo aquele lodo
Oh, oh where the one painted loves themAi, ai onde que os pintado amoa

To catch big fish, it takes a lot of work for us to soundPra pegá peixe dos bão, dá trabaio a gente soa
I throw timbó in the water, the fishmonger stunsEu jogo timbó na água, que a peixaria atordoa
I throw the net and screamJogo a rede e dou um grito
Oh, oh, the gold piles upAi, ai os dourado amontoa
