Patinho de borracha [English translation]

From what I see

You seem like a tub sailor

And I foresee

A barbarian and a vile outcome

As they barely open the faucet

A disaster is shimmered

In your wish

To own the biggest trawler

Maybe they??? die/cap you???

And a wave might still send you

Against the tub's enamel

Or against a rubber duck

I have faced the waves of the seven seas too

And I was the comandant of a bow's fleet

But the solitude and some disillusion

They sing to me like this

You miss a lighthouse keeper

Who wards the light off of your eyes

Who points you to the piers

There are so much illusion in life

Why to hear so many lullabies?

I've already lost my faith

You go there against the ducklings

Let me saile this bow

From what I see

From the fish you fished

From this size

It shrank or went shrivelling

Or it dissolved itself in the bucket

Or there was never any fish

And the stew of potatoes and onions

Was cooked without onions or potatoes

Not a pan to put them there

May you never run out of tuna cans

I've been swung

By the mermaid's singing

I took her in

Made her fillets and fed her

Might digestion be conscience or reason

That I hear in me

You miss a lighthouse keeper

Who wards the light off of your eyes

Who points you to the piers

There are so much illusion in life

Why to hear so many lullabies?

I've already lost my faith

You go there against the ducklings

Let me saile this bow
