A Chacarera da Moça

The Girl's Chacarera

A Chacarera da Moça

I wrote a verse and sang to herEu fiz um verso cantei pra ela
She told me it was an ugly verseEla me disse que verso feio
So I wrote another and sang againE então fiz outro e cantei de novo
She told me it was a mediocre verseMe disse ela verso do meio

To make sure, I wrote one morePra tira teima eu fiz mais um
I was singing and she came closerTava cantando e ela se veio
Because I told her, beautiful brunette, I wantPor quê lhe disse morena linda quero
To be the keeper of your reinsSer tento dos teus arreios

If I weren't a good guitar playerSe eu não fosse bom guitarreiro
How else could I be by your sideQual outro jeito de ser costeado
Singing to the girl who stands out to meCantar pra moça que me reponta
When I am enchanted by her danceQuando me encanto com seu bailado

Beautiful girl with a sweet kissMoça bonita do beijo doce
Tell your father that I am from the borderDiz pro teu pai que eu sou da fronteira
And it was because of your smileE foi por conta do teu sorriso
That I wrote this chacareraQue eu fiz essa chacarera
And it was because of your smileE foi por conta do teu sorriso
That I wrote this chacareraQue eu fiz essa chacarera

I crossed, taming in her ranchCruzei domando no rancho dela
My wild horse almost stumbledMeu redomão quase se empaca
She shouts at me, loosen the bitEla me grita frouxa o bocal
And gives him a tea made of cowhideE dá-lhe um chá de casca de vaca

I had a flower in my pocketTinha uma flor dentro do bolso
Lost in the field in a rushPerdi no campo num atropelo
I picked it for you because I imaginedColhi pra ti por que imaginei
It in the braid of your hairEla na trança dos teus cabelos

I went to the well to quench my thirstFui na cacimba matar a sede
And found your trace in the creekE achei teu rastro no cruzador
I know it was you, because I recognizeSei que era tu, por que eu conheço
Well the little foot of my loveBem o pezinho do meu amor
