Saga de Um Canoeiro

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!
