Saga de Um Canoeiro
Boi Caprichoso
Saga of a Canoeist
Here comes a canoeist, in the river's embrace
Old canoeist, go on, keep going canoeist
Here comes a canoeist, in the river's whisper
In the forest's silence, go on, keep going canoeist
Already going canoeist, through the bends of the paddle, already going canoeist
Already going canoeist, in the calm of the crossing, already going canoeist
Facing the rough waters in the river's waves
And from the currents comes the challenge, already going canoeist
From your canoe, your thoughts
Just arriving, just leaving, already going canoeist
Your body tired from long journeys
Already going canoeist
Your hands calloused from paddling
Already going canoeist
From your journey of countless strokes
Already going canoeist
The distant port
Your place to rest
I am, I am
I am, I am, I am, I am a canoeist
Canoeist, go!
I am, I am
I am, I am, I am, I am a canoeist
Canoeist, go!
I am, I am
I am, I am, I am, I am a canoeist
Canoeist, go!
