Dobrando Os Pelegos

Folding The Sheepskins

Dobrando Os Pelegos

I'm leaving on horseback with my belongings and God willingMe vou a cavalo de mala e cuia e se Deus quiser
Riding alongside the fence with my soul trapped in a chamaméCosteando a cerca com a alma presa num chamamé
I'm trotting on the serigote of this bay horseMe vou a trote no serigote desse gateado
Whose short gait still sticks the hairy one to my sideQue embora curto gruda o crinudo no meu costado

I leave with my chest puffed out, opening a pathSaio garreado de peito inflado abrindo picada
Dirtying the world, reins in hand, hat firmly plantedSujo de terra o mundo nas rédeas chapéu fincado
The return comes and the cowboys dry upA volta vem e os calaveras se secam
Having nearby the foreign lands on the other sideTendo por perto os pagos ajenos do outro lado

Slowly the pace is confirmedDevagarzito se afirma o tranco
Swinging the leg, opening the throat in a SapucaiBoleando a perna abrindo a goela num Sapucai
