There on the edge of the lagoon
Waiting for the new duck
Which way will it fly
Cho! Paturi, from the lagoon
Cho! Paturi, from the lagoon

Little arrow horse

Cho! Paturi, from the lagoon
Cho! Paturi, from the lagoon

The clothes on the clothesline

I'm sick, really sick
From the wound in the tooth
I sent for the barber
With the golden lancet
Wound in the same eye
For my quarrels
I was left without my love
