English Translation

O meu boi bonito, veste a luz da tradição

My beautiful ox, wears the light of tradition

O meu boi bonito, veste a luz da tradição

My beautiful ox, wears the light of tradition

Cantando os nossos costumes na proa do batelão

Singing our customs at the prow of the boat

Nossos origens caboclas, forte miscigenação

Our caboclo origins, strong miscegenation


Eu só brinco boi como sei brincar

I only play ox the way I know how to play

Sorrindo, cantando, bailando

Smiling, singing, dancing

E o batuque tocando pro boi balançar

And the drumbeat playing for the ox to sway


Eu só brinco boi como sei brincar

I only play ox the way I know how to play

Sorrindo, cantando, bailando

Smiling, singing, dancing

E o batuque tocando pro boi balançar

And the drumbeat playing for the ox to sway


Balança boi, meu boi bonito

Swing ox, my beautiful ox

Faz meu povo delirar, tipiti, tucupi

Make my people ecstatic, tipiti, tucupi

Gamela boa, vai ter pé de moleque, tarubá

Good bowl, there will be corn cake, tarubá


Balança boi, meu boi bonito

Swing ox, my beautiful ox

As ciganas vão Cantar

The gypsies will sing

Fastiando eu vou vivendo

I keep fasting and living

E a senha de guerra do boi é brincar

And the war cry of the ox is to play
