Pregão do Almocreve
Os almocreves cantavam alegres pelas aldeias
Lavravam a terra subiam à serra para ver as colmeias
Tratatavam do gado, ceifavam no prado
O feno e a palha
Bebiam nas fontes
Iam os montes
Vender a tralha
Mel e água mel
Pioes e cordeis
Fisgas e loiças
Cantaros, panelas, alguidares, tigelas e outras coisas
Vestiam calças pretas
Colete ou jaqueta
Camisa riscada
Lenço e caixoné
Usavam boné e a bota untada
Mel e água mel
Lenço e caixoné
Usavam boné e a bota untada
Lá de vez em quando
Faziam contrabando
Com sacrificio
A história discreve que o almocreve tenha os sete oficios
Com chuva ou vento
Carroça, jumento
Cascavel e esquila
Samarra safões
Catavam pregoes ao chegar à vila
Cal branca
E a vender se canta
Quem quer cal
Oregaos e cardos
Silarcas e espargos
Poejos do vale
Quem tem ferro velho
Pele de coelho, raposa ou de lebre
Pregão em cantiga
E assim era a vida do almocreve
Cal branca
Pregão em cantiga
E assim era a vida do almocreve
The Muleteer's Chant
The muleteers sang happily through the villages
They worked the land and climbed the mountains to see the beehives
They tended the cattle, they harvested in the meadow
The hay and the straw
They drank from the fountains
The mountains went
Sell the junk
Honey and honey water
Pioes and strings
Slingshots and crockery
Pitchers, pots, basins, bowls and other things
They wore black pants
Vest or jacket
Striped shirt
Handkerchief and casket
They wore caps and greased boots
Honey and honey water
Handkerchief and casket
They wore caps and greased boots
There from time to time
They were smuggling
With sacrifice
History describes the muleteer as having seven trades
With rain or wind
cart, donkey
Rattlesnake and squirrel
Samarra saphons
They collected plagiarisms when they arrived at the village
White lime
And to sell we sing
Who wants lime?
Oregano and thistle
Silarcas and asparagus
Pennyroyals of the valley
Who has scrap metal?
Rabbit, fox or hare fur
Auction in song
And that was the life of the muleteer
White lime
Auction in song
And that was the life of the muleteer
