Lyrics

Lá vai uma chalana
Bem longe se vai
Riscando o remanso
Do rio paraguai
Oh! Chalana sem querer
Tu aumentas minha dor
Estas águas tão serenas
Vai levando meu amor
E assim ela se foi
Nem de mim se despediu
A chalana vai sumindo
Na curva lá do rio
E se ela vai magoada
Eu bem sei que tem razão
Fui ingrato e feri
O seu pobre coração

Lyrics translation

There goes a chatter
Far away it goes
Scratching or backwater
Of the Paraguay River
Oh! Blabbering unintentionally
You increase my pain
These waters so serene
Go take my love
And so she's gone
He didn't even say goodbye to me.
The slang is fading
On the bend there from the river
What if she gets hurt
I know you're right.
I was ungrateful and hurt
Your poor heart
