Pescaria

Muddy water backwater is where fish gather
I set the cage hook to catch a marruá

My ranch is on the edge
From here I hear the beat
From the ranch door I see the cage tremble

A fisherman who is a fisherman steps softly on the bank
Arrives slowly at the bait to avoid the scare

Take the white from the bag
Take a sip to wait
The line shook, don't move, let the animal suck

The line has to be thick, the bait is earthworm
The arm has to be strong to overturn the bamboo

Well embedded hook
Sinker that makes tibungo
Give twenty fathoms of line so the animal catches deep

I don't like samburá and only use imbira infiera
I leave the meter in the water so the fish can breathe

To scare away mosquitoes
I light a straw cigarette
I keep watching the Moon while the bait works

The good river is the one we don't know the fish it has
Put the bait and send it far just to see what comes

Fishing is patience
Not catching is natural
Nibbled, but not hooked is the fisherman who fishes poorly
