Zilda is a woman
who lives in Baixada Fluminense
Mother of five children
Five mouths to feed
Her ex-husband used to work
As a bus fare collector
He traded Zilda for a lady
Who passed through the turnstile

Life was already not easy
With his help there
Now Zilda is alone
With the children to raise
At five o'clock she wakes up
And prepares breakfast
Then with other fishermen
She goes to the mangrove in Magé

Guanabara Bay
Crab fishing
Guanabara Bay
Impossible, but I see

At 28, Zilda says
She owns herself
Doesn't think much
Doesn't expect anything from anyone
Grabbing life by the paws
Slapping destiny
Roll up sleeves in the mangrove
Patience in every drop of blood

Life was already not easy
With her husband's help
But she knows not to think
About what could have been
At five o'clock she wakes up
And prepares breakfast
Then with other fishermen
She goes to the mangrove in Magé
