Stop, my brother

With so many plants, I don't know what to do

Oh, they say they are, are

Stop, my brother
Talking about so many beasts
With so many animals, I don't know what to do
Ah, a little animal to eat
That's all I wish for
With so many, they will end up eating me
But there are fish that I haven't mentioned yet
In every way and quality there is
Oh, there's wolf fish, there's catfish and catfish

But in this blessed region
Is there what is truly missing?
What is it, what is it, what is it?
What is it, what is it, what is it?
Tell me, my brother
In this vast forest
Is it possible, is it possible to have a woman?
That's something that doesn't exist
That's something that doesn't exist
So in that case, I prefer captivity
So in that case, I prefer captivity
My brother is absolutely right!
My brother is absolutely right!
