A Sereia e o Nego D'Água

I threw the net into the water, look what I caught
My surprise was great, I could hardly believe
My heart raced when I pulled the net
To be only mine
I took a mermaid queen from the depths of the water

Seven days of romance with the mermaid I spent
Her affection and kindness, I confess I liked
I haven't found a sweet kiss like hers yet
My world became empty
The mermaid jumped into the river, where she went I don't know

I stood there not knowing what to say
I even wanted to jump into the water to look for the mermaid
The river was too deep, I didn't know how to swim
I drank from the bottle
I prepared my net to cast again

I threw the net again in great agony
Just to see if I would catch the mermaid again
When I pulled the net, my legs trembled in surprise
My sorrow increased
I caught the water Negro, oh my God
