Full lyrics
Não quero outra vida
Pescando no río de jereré
Lá tem peixe bom, tem siri patola
De dá com pé
Não quero outra vida
Pescando no río de jereré
Tem um peixe bom tem siri patola
De dá com pé
Quando no terreiro, faz noite de luar
E vem a saudade me atormentar
Eu me vingo dela tocando viola
De papo pro ar
Se compro na feira feijão, rapadura
Pra que trabalhar
Eu gosto do rancho
E o homem não deve se amofina
Translation
I don't want another life
Fishing in the Jereré river
There's good fish there, there's siri patola
You can kick it with your foot
I don't want another life
Fishing in the Jereré river
There's good fish there, there's siri patola
You can kick it with your foot
When in the yard, it's a moonlit night
And the longing comes to torment me
I take revenge on it by playing the viola
Chatting to the air
If I buy beans and rapadura at the fair
Why work?
I like the ranch
And man shouldn't get upset
