De Chão Batido

From Beaten Ground

De Chão Batido

In rough dances from the back of the fieldEm xucras bailantas de fundo de campo
The accordion and the beat will welcomeO fole e tranco vão acolherados
The cowboy pumps for the boot heelO índio bombeia pro taco da bota
And destiny gallops in a beaten dreamE o destino galopa num sonho aporreado
Dust rises between the shakingPolvadeira levanta entre o sarandeio
And the rodeo of pretty girls is beautifulE é lindo o rodeio de chinas bonitas
Who has hard work and mature ideasQuem tem lida dura e a ideia madura
With a sip of pure, the soul throbsCom trago de pura a alma palpita

Atavistic surungo from beaten groundAtávico surungo de chão batido
Weathered roughness in the saddle of timeXucrismo curtido na tarca do tempo
It rebuilds winterings of lost longingsRefaz invernadas de ânsias perdidas
And saddles life on the back of the windE encilha a vida no lombo do vento

It's part of the world of the countrymanFaz parte do mundo do homem campeiro
To dance proudly on the weekendDançar altaneiro no fim de semana
The gaucho leans on the arms of the girlO gaúcho se arrima nos braços da china
And pokes at fate with a sip of caneE cutuca a sina com um trago de cana
Just being at a fandango of our Rio GrandeBasta estar num fandango do nosso Rio Grande
To see that this gaucho bond expandsPra ver que se expande esse elo gaúcho
This pure truth that has no ageEsta pura verdade que não tem idade
Is our identity enduring the pullÉ a nossa identidade aguentando o repuxo

Atavistic surungo from beaten groundAtávico surungo de chão batido
Weathered roughness in the saddle of timeXucrismo curtido na tarca do tempo
It rebuilds winterings of lost longingsRefaz invernadas de ânsias perdidas
And saddles life on the back of the windE encilha a vida no lombo do vento
