A Foca e o Carpinteiro

The Sun shone upon the sea
Shone half in full
And he fulfilled his duty
Without the slightest fear
But when? What? Even? Why?
At night, he was in the middle

The seal and the carpenter
Were out for a walk one day
Everything was fine
But only fine
That sand was too much

Mr. Seal!
Said the Carpenter
Things are not going well
Let's sweep until we die
If that suits you

Hmm, sweep?
Huurrrng

So I say, oh my friend
Now is the time
To talk about other things
Of cabbages and kings
Of the sea that is boiling
Of pigs and pastries
Callooh Callay, you will only speak
Of cabbages and kings

Oh, oh
Little oysters, don't you want to go for a walk?
Death is certain
Life is beautiful
And the Sun is shining

And if we get hungry on the way
We can have lunch

But Mother Oyster, who is not foolish
Winked her eye
And said no
Because it's oyster season to be in the nest

Rest now
The sea is calm
Stay here
Mom said

Yes, yes, of course, of course
But, ah
The time has come, my lady
Now is the time
To talk about other things
Of cabbages and kings
Of the sea that is boiling
Of pigs and pastries
Callooh Callay, you will walk
With cabbages and kings

Hmm, very well, let's see
Ah! A good bread, that's what's needed
How about a little pepper and a sauce, huh?

Oh, sure, great idea
Splendid idea
Now, if the little oysters are ready
Haha, we can have lunch

Lunch?

Haha, the time has come, my little angels
To talk about food

Of meat, bread, of bell pepper
And other condiments
Stirring well, as it should
It's worth what it sells
Callooh Callay, I will eat
With cabbages and kings

I, I, I'm sorry, I, forgive me
Fate is very unkind
Although your company, oh
Would have been very welcome

Oysters? Oysters?

But the answer was none
Because they had been

Eaten, one by one
Now is the time
With cabbages and kings
