Uirapuru

Once on horseback
I was riding down the Paraná
And the guy who was rowing
Wouldn't stop talking
Ah, ah, wouldn't stop talking
Ah, ah, what a chatty guy

He told me about the werewolf
And the water mother of Tajá
He mentioned Jurutahy
Who laughs at the moonlight
Ah, ah, who laughs at the moonlight
Ah, ah, what a chatty guy

My little caboclo, my love
Find one for me
I'm feeling blue to catch one like that
The devil left and didn't want to give me one
I'm gonna save my pennies to buy one

But the day I buy
That guy's gonna suffer
I'm gonna shake up his sweetheart
Ah, ah, his sweetheart
Ah, ah, oh just forget about that

Once on horseback
I was riding down the Paraná
And the guy who was rowing
Wouldn't stop talking
Ah, ah, wouldn't stop talking
Ah, ah, what a chatty guy

And he joked about visions
And killed a rattlesnake
He swore with a flourish
That he caught a uirapuru
Ah, ah, that he caught a uirapuru
Ah, ah, what a tempting guy

My little caboclo, my love
Find one for me
I'm feeling blue to catch one like that
The devil left and didn't want to give me one
I'm gonna save my pennies to buy one

But the day I buy
That guy's gonna suffer
I'm gonna shake up his sweetheart
Ah, ah, his sweetheart
Ah, ah, oh just forget about that
