Saga de Um Canoeiro

A canoeist goes, in the arms of the river
Old canoeist, go, go now canoeist

A canoeist goes, in the murmur of the river
In the silence of the forest, go, go now canoeist

Go now canoeist, in the curves that the paddle gives, go now canoeist
Go now canoeist, in the calm of the crossing, go now canoeist

Faces the rough waters in the waves of the rivers
And from the currents goes the challenge, go now canoeist

From your canoe, your thoughts
Just arriving, just leaving, go now canoeist

Your body tired from long journeys
Go now canoeist

Your hands calloused from rowing
Go now canoeist

From your journey of so many paddles
Go now canoeist

The distant port
Your rest

I am, I am
I am, I am, I am, I am canoeist
Canoeist, go!
