Paroles et traduction Ze Carreiro e Carreirinho - Canoeiro

Canoeiro

Domingo de tardezinha eu estava mesmo à toa
Convidei meu companheiro pra ir pescar na lagoa
Levemo' a rede de lanço
Ai, ai, fomo' pescar de canoa

Eu levei meus apreparo pra dar uma pescada boa
Eu saí lá com o sereno remando minha canoa
Cada remada que eu dava
Ai, ai, dava um balanço na proa

Fui descendo rio abaixo, remando minha canoa
A canoa foi rasgando, foi deitando as taboas
A garça avistei de longe
Ai, ai, chega perto ela avoa

O rio tava enchendo muito, fui encostando a canoa
Eu entrei numa vazante, fui sair noutra lagoa
Fui mexendo aquele lodo
Ai, ai, onde que os pintado amoa

Pra pegar peixe dos bão dá trabalho, a gente soa
Eu jogo timbó na água que a peixaria atordoa
Jogo a rede e dou um grito
Ai, ai, os dourado amontoa

Canoeist

Sunday afternoon I was feeling really bored
I invited my partner to go fishing in the lake
We took the cast net
My, my, we went fishing in a canoe

I brought my gear to catch a good catch
I went out in the still of the morning paddling my canoe
Every stroke I took
My, my, the bow would rock

I went down the river, paddling my canoe
The canoe was tearing, flattening the planks
I spotted a heron in the distance
My, my, it flies away as I get close

The river was swelling a lot, I was pulling over the canoe
I entered a sandbank, and left by a different lake
I stirred up the mud
My, my, where the pintados love it

To catch good fish is hard work, you sweat
I throw timbo in the water to stun the fish
I cast the net and give a shout
My, my, the dorados pile up
