Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Em chucra bailanta de fundo de campo

In the rustic dance floor of the countryside

O fole o e tranco vão acolherados

The accordion and the beat are intertwined

O índio bombeia pro taco da bota

The Indian pumps for the boot's heel

E o destino galopa num sonho aporreado

And destiny gallops in a battered dream


Polvadeira levanta entre o sarandeio

Dust rises amid the dance

E é lindo o rodeio de chinas bonitas

And the rodeo of beautiful girls is lovely

Quem tem lida dura e a ideia madura

Those with tough work and mature thoughts

Um trago de pura a alma palpita

A sip of pure spirit makes the soul flutter


Atávico surungo de chão batido

Ancestral dance on beaten ground

Xucrismo curtido na tarca do tempo

Hardened rusticity in the harness of time

Refaz invernadas de ânsias perdidas

It renews winter shelters of lost desires

E encilho a vida no lombo do vento

And saddles life on the back of the wind


Faz parte do mundo do homem campeiro

It's part of the world of the rural man

Dançar altaneiro no fim de semana

Dancing proudly at the end of the week

O gaúcho se arrima nos braços da China

The gaucho leans on the arms of the woman

Que cutuca a sina com um trago de cana

Who nudges fate with a sip of sugarcane


Basta estar num fandango do nosso Rio Grande

Just being in a fandango of our Rio Grande

Pra ver que se expande este elo gaúcho

To see that this gaucho bond expands

Esta pura verdade que não tem idade

This pure truth that has no age

É a nossa identidade aguentando o repuxo

Is our identity enduring the pull


Atávico surungo de chão batido

Ancestral dance on beaten ground

Xucrismo curtido na tarca do tempo

Hardened rusticity in the harness of time

Refaz invernadas de ânsias perdidas

It renews winter shelters of lost desires

E encilho a vida no lombo do vento

And saddles life on the back of the wind
