Puxada de Rede

"fishing net pulling") is a Brazilian folkloric theatrical play, seen in many capoeira performances.

A fisherman goes out to fish at night on a jangada, a handmade seaworthy sailing raft used by fishermen of north-eastern Brazil.

His wife waits the whole night for him on the beach, and around 5:00am, the usual arrival time, she sees the jangada.

The fishermen composed a dance in his memory and called it "puxada de rede".

Se Deus quiser quando eu voltar do mar If God wants when I return from the sea Um peixe bom, eu vou trazer A good fish, I will bring Meus companheiros tambem vão voltar My friends will also return E a Deus do céu vamos agradecer and to God we will give thanks
