Vida de Pescador

I'm going to build my little ranch by the river just for me
Fishing
To escape the noise of the big city so as not to
Stress
There I stay hidden, I throw some bait to
Lure
I even forget that I'm neck-deep in debt

Oh, how difficult the life of a fisherman is
At night he tangles the hook in the taboca trap
During the day he burns in the sun bathing the worms

I wake up at dawn, grab my hoe and start to
Dig
But it's to dig up worms to catch some catfish for us to
Eat
Then I pull out some cassava and throw it in the water for them to
Spoil
To attract big fish, I do everything not to
Work

Oh, how difficult the life of a fisherman is
At night he tangles the hook in the taboca trap
During the day he burns in the sun bathing the worms

I'll call Anizião, a good guy, to cast the net
He casts a net that needs four people to
Pull
The other day, down by the creek, he cast his net
Caught five jiripoca birds, a puma, and eighteen chickens

Oh, how difficult the life of a fisherman is
At night he tangles the hook in the taboca trap
During the day he burns in the sun bathing the worms

Everything here in my little ranch is very simple, let me tell you
It's a big feast, we catch dorado and release them a few
Times
For the small fish, we have a rod to compare
If it's not over two and a half meters, we release the little one
For them to grow

Oh, how difficult the life of a fisherman is
At night he tangles the hook in the taboca trap
During the day he burns in the sun bathing the worms

As it gets dark, we return to the ranch, it's time to
Dine
Some rice with cambuquira, a country chicken to
Change
Then we play some truco, have a few rounds to
Relax
Then we go to sleep peacefully to go back to fishing
The next day

Oh, how difficult the life of a fisherman is
At night he tangles the hook in the taboca trap
During the day he burns in the sun bathing the worms
