I was driving around down south Louisiana
Eu estava dirigindo no sul da Louisiana
Stopped in a town called Galliano
Parei numa cidade chamada Galliano
I saw a sign on a church that said, “Fish fry tonight”
Vi uma placa numa igreja: “Peixe frito hoje à noite!”

A little old Cajun preacher was preachin’
Um velhinho Cajun (“canadense”) estava pregando
Reminded me of an old camp meeting
Me lembrou de um antigo acampamento
It brought Saint Matthew 4:19 to life
Ele deu vida ao verso de Mateus 4:19!

He said, “I catch ‘em, God cleans ‘em
Ele disse: “Eu pesco, Deus limpa.”
I bait the hook with the love of the Kingdom
“Ponho a isca no anzol com o amor do Reino”
I’ve been called to be a fisher of men”
“Eu fui chamado pra ser pescador de homens!”

“I catch ‘em, God cleans ‘em
“Eu pesco, Deus limpa.”
Heaven knows He saves every soul that believes Him
“Certamente, Ele salva toda alma que nEle crê.”
I reel ‘em in and He washes away their sin”
“Eu puxo a rede, e Ele lava o pecado deles.”

Yeah, it didn’t take long for Him to catch my attention
Não demorou pra ele prender minha atenção
He was long on grace and short on religion
Tinha pouco a ver com religião e muito a ver com Graça
He said a prayer and that was all that she wrote
Ele fez uma oração bem simples

He said, “Amen!”, and God as my witness
Ele disse “Amém!”, e Deus é testemunha:
I fell in that big ole net of forgiveness
Eu caí na grande rede do perdão
And before I knew it we were all in the same boat
E antes que me desse conta, estávamos todos no mesmo barco!

He said, “I catch ‘em, God cleans ‘em
Ele disse: “Eu pesco, Deus limpa.”
I bait the hook with the love of the Kingdom
“Ponho a isca no anzol com o amor do Reino”
I’ve been called to be a fisher of men”
“Eu fui chamado pra ser pescador de homens!”

“I catch ‘em, God cleans ‘em
“Eu pesco, Deus limpa.”
Heaven knows He saves every soul that believes Him
“Certamente, Ele salva toda alma que nEle crê.”
I reel ‘em in and He washes away their sin”
“Eu puxo a rede, e Ele lava o pecado deles.”

Yeah, I reel ‘em in and He washes away their sin
“Sim, eu puxo a rede, e Ele lava o pecado deles.”
Oh yes, He does
Sim, Ele lava!
I reel ‘em in and He washes away their sin
“Eu puxo a rede, e Ele lava o pecado deles.”

(Let’s go fishing)
(Vamos pescar!)
