Fazenda da Viuva
Numa fazenda povoada, a uma viúva pertencia
Quadra de sesmarias, mas tudo meio atirado
Alguns capão de mato serve de abrigo no inverno
De onde tiravam o cerno pra arrumar os alambrados
Um terreiro de galinha carijó, pena de seda
Por baixo do arvoredo havia alguns cabritos
Uma invernada grande, um lajeado cruzava ao meio
E onde cerrava o rodeio era um chapadão bonito
E o sal botado no chão, pois nem coxo não havia
Boi de três anos na cria, ainda quase tudo touro
Bagual veio criado, as crina arrastava no chão
E os quarenta redomão e uma tropilha de mouro
Um índio desses gaudérios, mandado nos quatro ventos
Pra falar do casamento, na estância se chegou
Já de primeira vista deu de encontro com ela
De a cavalo numa sela, num petiço marchador
Convidado pra sala, onde foi bem recebido
Pôs o chapéu no cabide, num gesto muito bonito
Logo foi pra cozinha e lhe ofereceram um pastel
Também tinha pão com mel, café preto e bolo frito
Foi poucas palheteadas e logo entrou no assunto
Casar e viver junto, estaria disposto
Aflita ela disse haver duas precisão
A fazendo do Patrão e eu preciso de encosto
Botou a fazenda em ordem, já não tendo o que fazer
Se associou no CTG e se entrosou com a gaúcha
Quando roncava a gaita, a viúva tava pronta
E o índio puxava a ponta numa rancheira flauteada
Widow's Farm
On a bustling farm, it belonged to a widow
A plot of land, but everything was a bit scattered
Some brush served as shelter in the winter
Where they got the core to fix the fences
A yard with speckled chickens, silky feathers
Under the trees, there were some goats
A big pasture, a rocky area ran through the middle
And where the corral closed was a beautiful plateau
And the salt thrown on the ground, since there wasn't even a lame one
A three-year-old bull in the herd, still almost all young
A wild one raised, its mane dragging on the ground
And the forty head of cattle and a herd of dark ones
An Indian from those cowboys, sent in all directions
To talk about marriage, he arrived at the ranch
Right off the bat, he ran into her
On horseback in a saddle, on a smooth-gaited horse
Invited to the living room, where he was warmly welcomed
He hung his hat on the rack, in a very nice gesture
Then he went to the kitchen and they offered him a pastry
There was also bread with honey, black coffee, and fried cake
It was just a few small talk and he quickly got to the point
To marry and live together, he would be willing
Nervously she said there were two needs
The farm of the Boss and I need some support
He put the farm in order, with nothing else to do
Joined the CTG and blended in with the local girls
When the accordion played, the widow was ready
And the Indian led the way in a fluted ranch song
