Última Gineteada
Eu encilhei o meu cavalo e levei outro
Fui convidado pra uma linda gineteada
Sai do rancho virava de meia noite
A estrela d'alva repontava a madrugada
Cheguei na festa o dia vinha clareando
Chegava o povo de carreta e a cavalo
Às oito horas tinha um concurso de rédeas
Às dez e meia outro concurso de pealo
Levei um zaino e um tordilho bom de rédeas
Com dois cavalos e com sobra de recursos
Passei do zaino os arreios pra tordilho
Já levantei com o primeiro concurso
Às dez e meia outro concurso de pealo
Passei pro zaino os arreios novamente
Soltaram o potro, meu laço estava armado
Botei certinho nas duas patas da frente
Ao meio dia o churrasco foi um colosso
Cantei um xote pra saudar a gauchada
No entrevero vi tanta prenda bonita
No meio delas minha antiga namorada
E a meia tarde uma sanfona só chorava
Deu um fandango e eu já me misturei
O sanfoneiro era o Adelar Bertussi
Por ser dos bons tirei a prenda e dancei
Entrou a noite o fandango se animou
Como foi lindo aquele divertimento
A minha antiga namorada estava bela
Chamou seu pai e já marquei o casamento
Passei por lá uma semana e me casei
Genro fiquei do seu Antônio Maximino
Me despedi da gauchada e retornei
Eu vim no zaino e ela veio no tordilho
Last Rodeo
I saddled my horse and took another
I was invited to a beautiful rodeo
I left the ranch turning around midnight
The morning star was rising at dawn
I arrived at the party as the day was breaking
People were arriving by cart and horse
At eight o'clock there was a reins contest
At ten-thirty another pealo contest
I took a sorrel and a good reins dapple gray
With two horses and plenty of resources
I switched the saddle from the sorrel to the dapple gray
I was ready for the first contest
At ten-thirty another pealo contest
I switched the saddle back to the sorrel
They released the colt, my lasso was ready
I caught it right on its two front legs
At noon, the barbecue was a success
I sang a xote to greet the cowboys
In the midst of it, I saw so many beautiful women
Among them, my former girlfriend
And in the afternoon, a single accordion wept
There was a fandango and I joined in
The accordionist was Adelar Bertussi
Being one of the best, I asked the lady to dance
Night fell, the fandango livened up
What a beautiful entertainment it was
My former girlfriend looked stunning
She called her father and I arranged the marriage
I stayed there for a week and got married
I became the son-in-law of Mr. Antônio Maximino
I said goodbye to the cowboys and returned
I came on the sorrel and she came on the dapple gray
