In the Chaquaio of the Pandeiro

Pirisca Grecco

No Chaquaio do Pandeiro

Eu fiz um pandeiro de lônca de égua
E o som alcançava por metros e léguas
Botei um cipó na volta de fora
E tinha por guizo roseta de espora

Eu fui contratado pra um baile campeiro
Por azar do conjunto faltava um pandeiro
A indiada gostava do som nativista
E assim fui chamado com fama de artista

Num baio roncolho
Me fui pro surungo
E o som do instrumento
Assustava o matungo

Vinha ele assombrado
Daquele chacoalho
E eu grudei o pandeiro
Nas oreia do baio

Naquele planaço meu baio se nega
Frenei nas paleta, cheirei as macega
A boina gaúcha perdeu-se no vento
E eu achei uma nota pro meu instrumento

Cheguei no surungo do baio roncolho
Que vinha assombrado com sangue no olho
Já tava o conjunto fazendo o ensaio
E foi na ramada que eu atei o meu baio

O baile começa entonado num xote
Lá fora meu baio estendia o cangote
Sentava de todo naquela trovoada
E lá pelas tanta se foi a ramada

Deu china correndo
Deu veia gritando
E o baile acabou
Naquele desmando

Foi culpa do baio
Daquele entrevero
Que eu vinha enfezado
Tocando pandeiro

Naquele planaço meu baio se nega
Frenei nas paleta, cheirei as macega
A boina gaúcha perdeu-se no vento
E eu achei uma nota pro meu instrumento

Naquele planaço meu baio se nega
Frenei nas paleta, cheirei as macega
A boina gaúcha perdeu-se no vento
E eu achei uma nota pro meu instrumento

Foi culpa do Baio
Naquele entreveiro
Que eu vinha enfezado
Tocando pandeiro

In the Chaquaio of the Pandeiro

I made a pandeiro from a mare's leather
And the sound reached for meters and leagues
I put a vine around the outside
And it had a spur rosette as a rattle

I was hired for a country dance
By bad luck the band was missing a pandeiro
The folks liked the native sound
And so I was called with a reputation as an artist

In a buckskin horse
I went to the party
And the sound of the instrument
Scared the horse

He came frightened
From that shaking
And I stuck the pandeiro
In the horse's ears

In that gallop my horse refuses
I pulled on the reins, sniffed the grass
The gaucho beret got lost in the wind
And I found a note for my instrument

I arrived at the party of the buckskin horse
Who came frightened with bloodshot eyes
The band was already rehearsing
And it was in the shed that I tied up my horse

The dance starts with a xote
Outside my horse stretched its neck
It sat through that thunderstorm
And around midnight the shed collapsed

There were women running
Old ladies screaming
And the dance ended
In that chaos

It was the horse's fault
In that mess
That I was annoyed
Playing the pandeiro

In that gallop my horse refuses
I pulled on the reins, sniffed the grass
The gaucho beret got lost in the wind
And I found a note for my instrument

In that gallop my horse refuses
I pulled on the reins, sniffed the grass
The gaucho beret got lost in the wind
And I found a note for my instrument

It was the horse's fault
In that mess
That I was annoyed
Playing the pandeiro
