Chico Mineiro's Revenge

Vingança Do Chico Mineiro

With my guitar, I tried to ease the pain of what happenedNa viola eu pegava pra vê se consolava disso que aconteceu
The guitar just moaned, like it was saying Chico Mineiro is deadA viola só gemia, parece que ela dizia Chico Mineiro morreu
When I saw a herd kicking up dust on the road and the shout of the cowboysQuando eu via uma boiada levantar poeira na estrada e o grito dos boiadeiros
I cried out of sadness, it felt like a shout for Chico MineiroDe tristeza até chorava pra mim me representava grito de chico mineiro

I was downcast, couldn't sleep at night, always sad and sobbingAcabrunhado eu vivia de noite já nem dormia sempre triste a soluçar
The deep pain inside me was eating away, I decided to get revengeDa grande dor que eu sentia por dentro me remoia resolvi me vingar
I grabbed the thirty, tucked in my belt, the dagger sharp, and set out with a purposePeguei o trinta embalado na sinta o punhal fiado e sai com o destino
To find the tough guy who killed my brother in the backlands of Ouro FinoDe encontrar com o valentão que matou o meu irmão no sertão de Ouro Fino

I ran into that bastard, a mean-looking dude, and I challenged him right thenTopei com esse malvado, um cabra mal encarado na hora desafiei
He came at me, and with the sharp dagger, I plunged it into his chestEle veio pro meu lado eu com o punhal afiado em seu peito lhe cravei
I left him lying there, in his final gasp, I asked God for forgivenessDeixei o cara estendido, no derradeiro gemido pra Deus eu perdi perdão
I did this out of revenge, crying over the sad memory of my brother's deathQue eu fiz isto por vingança chorando a triste lembrança da morte do meu irmão
