Vida de Vaqueiro

Cowboy Life

Vida de Vaqueiro

Any day nowEu quarqué dia
I'll go to the backlandsVou-me embora pro sertão
Because longingPois saudade
Doesn't let me restNão me deixa sossegar
When I arrive thereChegando lá
I quickly put on my vestVisto logo meu gibão
I saddle the horseSelo o cavalo
And go to the bush to herd cattleE vou pro mato vaquejar

The good cowboyO bom vaqueiro
Always carries in his bagTraz sempre no alforge
Dry flourFarinha seca
Rapadura, roasted meatRapadura, carne assada
But he has a weaknessMas tem um fraco
That is an addiction that doesn't go awayQue é um vício que num foge
Accordion musicSamba de fole
With a woman of leisureCom muié desocupada

Hey, hey, cattleÊi, êi, gado
Hey, hey, cattleÊi, êi, gado
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, ox...Êi, êi, êi, êi, êi, êi,êi, êi, êi, boi...

I'll catch the black steerVou pegar o cara preta
I'll put on a fierce faceBoto chocáio e careta
And then I'll tell you how it wentE depois conto como foi
