DESCRIPTION:
Dedicated to my mother, the source of everything in my life that rhymes.

Thanks to my son Gabriel for the word 'pool'. (I had 'water'...)

O Pato / A Duck
Lyrics and Music by Jayme Silva - Neuza Teixeira
(English adaptation by Paul Sonnenberg)

O Pato
A duck so happily came singing, Quen, Quen,
A drake who heard her came a-winging, Quen, Quen,
And he invited her to samba, to samba, to samba.

O Ganso
A goose who saw the duckies dancing, Quen, Quen,
Called up a swan he'd been romancing, Quen, Quen
Such a quartet you never have seen!
Come and see what I mean...

By the lagoon they're swaying
Watch them as they swoon
Underneath the moon
Happy as crows out in the corn

But then the duck let out a curse, he'd made her stumble
The goose thought it was just a game and took a tumble
I laughed as they all lost their cool and fell into the pool!
And started quacking all the more:
Quen, Quen, Quen... O Pato.
