Ebbie, here are the narrative and lyrics in English and horrible Portuguese. I can't write Portuguese well enough to do it justice. So here it is minus the proper accent marks and possibly misspelled:

Off the north coast of Brazil there's an extensive fishing trade. Each day men go out in log boats to catch a fish known as Curimao in nets they throw by hand. They aren't always successful in catching this huge fish; but are nearly as glad to bring in one a little smaller known as Lambai.


Curimao

Vamos chamar o vento
Vamos chamar o vento
Oo-oo-oo

Vento que da na vela
Vela que leva a o barco
Barco que leva o gente
Gente que leva o peixe
E peixe que da dineiro
Curimao

Chorus:
Curimao hey Curimao ou Lambai
Curimao hey Curimao ou Lambai
Hey Curimao hey Curimao ou Lambai
Hey Curimao hey Curimao ou Lambai
Curimao

Come let us call the wind
Come let us call the wind
Oo-oo-oo

Wind come and fill the mainsail
Mainsail make my boat go
Boat go and carry my brothers
Brothers fish the waters
And waters bring us good fortune!
Curimao

Chorus
