Canoeiro

Sunday afternoon, I was really out of it
I invited my partner to go fishing in the lake
Let's take the cast net
Oh, then we went canoe fishing

I took my gear to catch a good fish
I soon left calmly, paddling my canoe
Every stroke I took
Oh, there was a swing on the bow

I went down the river, paddling my canoe
The canoe was tearing up and laying down the cattails
I saw the heron from afar
Oh, come closer, she flies

The river was getting very high, I pulled the canoe over
I went into a low tide and came out into another lake
I was stirring that mud
Oh, oh where the one painted loves them

To catch big fish, it takes a lot of work for us to sound
I throw timbó in the water, the fishmonger stuns
I throw the net and scream
Oh, oh, the gold piles up
