Full lyrics
Não é mentira
Quem quiser que acredite
Não venha dar palpite no que eu vou lhe falar
Foi uma feita
Peguei um peixe tão grande
Que nem a fotografia eu podia carregar
Não zombe não
Não é mentira não
Porque a isca era um pobre tubarão
E só de carne tinha 5 toneladas
Sem contar com a rabada que também se aproveitou
E a cabeça do peixe era tão grande
Que sentado em cada dente dava cinco pescador
Translation
It's not a lie
Whoever wants to believe it can
Don't come giving opinions on what I'm going to tell you
It happened once
I caught a fish so big
That I couldn't even carry the photograph
Don't mock me, no
It's not a lie, no
Because the bait was a poor shark
And it had 5 tons of meat alone
Not counting the oxtail that was also used
And the fish's head was so big
That five fishermen could sit on each tooth
