Portuguese term

isso aqui que fura a gente...

Portuguese to English Other Cinema, Film, TV, Drama script for a video
Hi all! I'm translating the transcription for a video on lobster fishing on a jangada. I don't have the video, just the Portuguese in a Word document to translate. This part is about how they cook on the boat. Is the man complaining about the salt water, saying it's bad for them but that they're used to it? Thanks for your help!

Aqui é o fogão da gente. Agora eu vou acender um casco de coco, entendeu? Isso aqui é como se fosse o gás do fogão. Aqui eu peguei um cigarro aceso e vou tacar fogo nela.

Essa é a água pra cozinhar a lagosta. Se fosse água doce, a gente coloria o sal, mas já que a água já é salgada, já está preparada pela natureza. No caso, ***isso aqui que fura a gente....*** mas a gente já está acostumado.

Luciano too.
Lindsay Spratt (asker) Jul 24, 2013:
Marlene, I think you're right, that's why he says they're used to it.
Marlene Curtis Jul 24, 2013:
With the new context I would say yes, the lobster's claws pierce/prick/cut their hands.
Luciano Eduardo de Oliveira Jul 24, 2013:
Ou isso ou então ele está dizendo que é para ter cuidado com as pinças do animal, que podem machucar.
Lindsay Spratt (asker) Jul 24, 2013:
Sorry guys, I've just been sent the video and at this point, the guy picks up the lobster he's about to cook, breaks off a part of it and puts it into the water to boil. So I guess 'fura' is in the sense of it being too spiky to eat? I don't eat lobster so I'm a bit clueless!

and that's what hurts your innards . . .

Suggestion:

and that's what hurts your innards . . .

Eu usei a palavra "innards" por ser um texto informal . . . a gente, a gente, a gente, etc.
