Um Bagual Corcoveador

A Bucking Bagual

Um Bagual Corcoveador

The troop came stretched out grazing in the corridorA tropa vinha estendida pastando no corredor
I pushed the butt and also made a halterEu empurrava culatra e também fazia fiador

In a fat and thin, skittish and bucking bagualNum bagual gordo e delgado arisco e corcoveador
That got scared of the stake and the shadow of the horsemanQue se assustava da estaca e da sombra do maneador

It's tough the life of a cowboy who only works as a handÉ brabo a vida de um taura que só trabalha de peão
At that moment a hare shoots out from under a bushNisso uma lebre dispara debaixo de um macegão

My horse just kicked once, hiding its face in its handsMeu pingo só deu um coice escondendo a cara nas mãos
It came out shaking its back and stuck its nose in the groundSaiu sacudindo o toso e cravou o focinho no chão

I tried to lift it with the reins but it was too lateTentei levantar no freio mas era tarde demais
I saw a fine dust forming clouds behindEu vi uma poeira fina formando nuvens pra trás

Bellowing, the fence was broken and it crossed to the other sideBerrando se foi a cerca e cruzou pro lado de lá
It looked like a storm crossing in massambaráParecia uma tormenta cruzando em massambará)

It got tangled in the spurs around the neckSe enganchava nas esporas sobre a volta do pescoço
Cutting leather and hair and taking bone splintersCortando couro em pêlo e tirando lascas de osso

In that damn hell, I pumped for my onionNaquele inferno danado bombiei pra meu cebolão
I adjusted four and a bit on a summer afternoonRegulava quatro e pico numa tarde de verão

I felt the force of the wind pulling me out of the saddleSenti a força do vento me arrancando dos arreios
And that animal seemed like it was going to tear in halfE aquele bicho parecia que ia se rasgar no meio

I left a tame and trustworthy mount from the bossDeixei manso e de confiança montaria de patrão
Because I honor the name I carry, I'm proud to be a cowboyPois honro o nome que carrego me orgulho de ser peão
