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
