Segura o Tombo da Canoa

Hold the canoe's tumble, my love
Hold the tumble so the canoe doesn't tip over
Hold the tumble, for the wind is the one who commands the bow
And those who have never paddled a canoe don't know what it's like to row

Hold the canoe's tumble, my love
Hold the tumble so the canoe doesn't tip over
Hold the tumble, for the wind is the one who commands the bow
And those who have never paddled a canoe don't know what it's like to rhyme

If you've never been to the backcountry, you don't know what cattle is
If you've never been an employee, you don't know what a boss is
You've never used a padlock, you can't be a player
Flora flourished and never entered a garden
If you don't sing like me, you die and you're not a singer

Hold the canoe's tumble, my love
Hold the tumble so the canoe doesn't tip over
Hold the tumble, for the wind is the one who commands the bow
And those who have never paddled a canoe don't know what it's like to row

Those who are good are born ready, those who want to become can't
Those who appreciate pagode want to do everything right
Those who earn well are mayors, the doctor is the one who knows how to read
For those who are sewing, hair is what gives lice
Those with crossed eyes date and no one sees

Hold the canoe's tumble, my love
Hold the tumble so the canoe doesn't tip over
Hold the tumble, for the wind is the one who commands the bow
And those who have never paddled a canoe don't know what it's like to row

If I want, I make the wind blow with speed
The moon in half, illuminating the sky
Donkey, horse, and mule, all flying in a plane
And a colt feeling passion and giving all affection
Hummingbird and bird singing for the people

Hold the canoe's tumble, my love
Hold the tumble so the canoe doesn't tip over
Hold the tumble, for the wind is the one who commands the bow
And those who have never paddled a canoe don't know what it's like to row

Neither I, nor you, nor anyone, all of this is justified
Neither part, nor goes, nor stays
Neither stays, nor goes, nor comes
Nothing is worth and nothing has, you and her, and she and I
Doing what God gave us, in life everything just flows
Man is born, lives, and dies, in life, everything is lost

Hold the canoe's tumble, my love
Hold the tumble so the canoe doesn't tip over
Hold the tumble, for the wind is the one who commands the bow
And those who have never paddled a canoe don't know what it's like to row

Hold the canoe's tumble, my love
And the tumble so the canoe doesn't tip over
Hold the tumble, for the wind is the one who commands the bow
And those who have never paddled a canoe don't know what it's like to row

Hey
Hold the tumble, for the wind is the one who commands the bow
And those who have never paddled a canoe don't know what it's like to row
Hold the tumble, for the wind is the one who commands the bow
And those who have never paddled a canoe don't know what it's like to row
Hold the tumble, for the wind is the one who commands the bow
And those who have never paddled a canoe don't know what it's like to row
