Gaiteiro Roncador

Snoring Bagpiper

Gaiteiro Roncador

I was a famous bagpiper from the Vacaria bands,Fui um gaiteiro famoso das bandas da Vacaria,
the dances I played at went on until daybreak,os bailes que eu tocava iam até clarear o dia,
but I had a flaw, when I played I fell asleep, snoring on top of the bagpipe that could be heard from afar.mas eu tinha um defeito, quando eu tocava dormia, roncava em cima da gaita que de longe se ouvia.

Because of this habit, I stopped being a player,Por causa desse costume deixei de ser tocador,
they gave me the nickname of snoring bagpiper.me botaram o apelido de gaiteiro roncador.

I was called to play at a big barbecue, in a very good shade, under a ramada,Fui chamado pra tocar numa grande churrascada, numa sombra muito boa, embaixo de uma ramada,
I thought what a good place to take a nap, I fell asleep, snoring loudly.eu pensei que lugar bom pra dar uma cochilada, naquilo eu peguei no sono, ronquei de fazer "zoada".

Because of this habit, I stopped being a player,Por causa desse costume deixei de ser tocador,
they gave me the nickname of snoring bagpiper.me botaram o apelido de gaiteiro roncador.

Once at the end of a dance, drowsiness invaded me,Certa vez num fim de baile uma soneira me invadiu,
I started to doze off and my eyelid fell,comecei a cochilar e a pestana já caiu,
the dance ended and the hall was empty,naquilo o baile acabou e o salão ficou vazio,
I was sleeping in the room, snoring like a howler monkey.fiquei dormindo na sala, roncando igual o bugio.

Because of this habit, I stopped being a player,Por causa desse costume deixei de ser tocador,
they gave me the nickname of snoring bagpiper.me botaram o apelido de gaiteiro roncador.
