O Menino e o Cachorro

On the edge of Rio do Peixe in a very remote place
A couple of farmers with one year of marriage
Had a little baby in their arms who wasn't even baptized
Despite being very poor, they lived very peacefully
And when the day broke, he would take the canoe
He crossed the river to take care of his field

One day the husband, with good intentions
Needing to finish a delayed job
Took his wife to the field with food and water
Thinking of coming back early, they had left
In that absent little ranch, an innocent little boy
Who dreamed smiling in his poorly lined cradle

A great downpour came from that side
The river suddenly rose, everything was flooded
The highest of the cliffs also overflowed
They wanted to go back home, but the canoe had drifted
What a treacherous fate for the poor farming couple
Looking at that downpour, shouting in despair

A smart and well-trained police dog
Who had luckily stayed sleeping under the bed
When he saw that the ranch was going to be flooded
He tried to save the boy from drowning
He held the innocent little boy in his teeth
And in a brave gesture, he swam across the river

The poor couple cried in desperate tears
For the death of their little boy taken by the waters
When they saw the completely wet dog
Dragging the boy he had saved
By the force of destiny, the dog saved the boy
This divine miracle was determined by God
