Full lyrics
Eu pescava no Riacho da Pedreira
Vendendo peixe na feira
Eu criei a molecada
Comendo peixe todo mundo ficou forte
Eu tive muita sorte com a minha mulher amada
Minha mulher um dia foi pescar
Mas no Riacho da Pedreira tinha pedra pra danar
Ela tinha medo de botar a mão na toca
E eu dizia: Maricota é aí que o peixe está
Entre as pedras não tem cobra só tem peixe
Se quiser pegar algum tem que fazer como eu mandar
Abre as pedras meu amor
É aí que o peixe esconde quando vê o pescador
Abre as pedras meu amor
É aí que o peixe esconde quando vê o pescador
Translation
I used to fish in Stony Creek
Selling fish at the market
I raised the kids
Eating fish, everyone grew strong
I was very lucky with my beloved wife
One day my wife went fishing
But in Stony Creek there were stones galore
She was afraid to put her hand in the crevice
And I would say: Maricota, that's where the fish are
Among the stones there are no snakes, only fish
If you want to catch some, you have to do as I say
Open the stones, my love
That's where the fish hides when it sees the fisherman
Open the stones, my love
That's where the fish hides when it sees the fisherman
