Menino do Laço Comprido

Boy with the Long Lasso

When I arrived at the rodeo
Look who was there
He was the love of my life
Under a carandá

There are so many people at this party
I've never seen him before
Naturally he is already beautiful
But every braid, see, it's different

Oh boy with the long bow
Tell me what honey you have
Do you only rope beef or hearts too?
Do you only rope beef or hearts too?

Oh boy with the long bow
Tell me what honey you have
Do you only rope beef or hearts too?
Do you only rope beef or hearts too?

There are so many people at this party
I've never seen him before
Naturally he is already beautiful
But everything is stuck, see, it's different

Oh boy with the long bow
Tell me what honey you have
Do you only rope beef or hearts too?
Do you only rope beef or hearts too?

Oh boy with the long bow
Tell me what honey you have
Do you only rope beef or hearts too?
Do you only rope beef or hearts too?

Oh boy with the long bow
Tell me what honey you have
Do you only rope beef or hearts too?
Do you only rope beef or hearts too?

Oh boy with the long bow
Tell me what honey you have
Do you only rope beef or hearts too?
Do you only rope beef or hearts too?

(This song goes out to all the ropers in Mato Grosso do Sul, my homeland)
Or heart too?
