Batendo Casco

Hoofbeats

Batendo Casco

In a front trot to throw the reinsNum trote fronteiro de atirar o freio
I'm going to face the wind just for the sake of itVou topando o vento só por desaforo
Making a living in a Gateado OveiroDe ganhar a vida num Gateado Oveiro
Crazy and cheerful with the dogsLouco de faceiro junto dos cachorros

Across the countryside, through the campsPelo campo fora, pelas campereadas
I tie the ties in a beautiful flourishApresilho os laços num florear lindaço
To drag the master sheep to the shearDe arrastar pro toso as ovelha mestra
And everything that is useless around the ranchE tudo que não presta de arredor do rancho

I dress really nicely, like for datingMe pilcho bem lindo, tipo pro namoro
Bridling the wrinkles of this bagual loveCabresteando as rugas deste amor bagual
That, when changing leagues, moves its legQue, ao cambiar das léguas, vai boleando a perna
To Santana Velha of the Uruguay RiverPra Santana Velha do Rio Uruguai

I dress really nicely, like for datingMe pilcho bem lindo, tipo pro namoro
Bridling the wrinkles of this bagual loveCabresteando as rugas deste amor bagual
That, when changing leagues, moves its legQue, ao cambiar das léguas, vai boleando a perna
To Santana Velha of the Uruguay RiverPra Santana Velha do Rio Uruguai

With a very short veil, come on, my horseDe sovéu bem curto, vamo, meu cavalo
Crushing peals in these worldsAmagando pealos nesses mundaréu
Playing the chircas in a water tankAtorando as chircas numa manga d'água
Sponsoring sorrow without taking off your hatAmadrinhando a mágoa sem tirar o chapéu

We are each other without tearing the bottomSemo um do outro sem rasgar baixeiro
Thinning the hair in this springAdelgaçando o pêlo neste manancial
Trimming the mane from neck to earAparando as crina' do pescoço à orelha
Of a pregnant mare without passing the buccalDe uma égua prenha sem passar o buçal

I dress really nicely, like for datingMe pilcho bem lindo, tipo pro namoro
Bridling the wrinkles of this bagual loveCabresteando as rugas deste amor bagual
That, when changing leagues, moves its legQue, ao cambiar das léguas, vai boleando a perna
To Santana Velha of the Uruguay RiverPra Santana Velha do Rio Uruguai

I dress really nicely, like for datingMe pilcho bem lindo, tipo pro namoro
Bridling the wrinkles of this bagual loveCabresteando as rugas deste amor bagual
That, when changing leagues, moves its legQue, ao cambiar das léguas, vai boleando a perna
To Santana Velha of the Uruguay RiverPra Santana Velha do Rio Uruguai
From the Uruguay River, from the Uruguay River, from the Uruguay RiverDo Rio Uruguai, do Rio Uruguai, do Rio Uruguai
