Tempo Feio Lyrics Translation in English
César Oliveira e Rogério MeloPortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Ala maula que tempito cabuloso
Ala maula que tempito cabuloso
Nessa garoa galopeada de minuano
In this drizzle galloped by the minuano
De quando em vez o temporal arrasta o toso
From time to time, the storm drags everything
O que me salva é esse poncho castelhano
What saves me is this Spanish poncho
O ramenzone vai guapeando a chuva braba
The ramenzone goes bravely through the heavy rain
E a cordeirada poco a poco encarangando
And the herd slowly toughening up
A várzea grande se estendeu num mato branco
The large field stretched out in a white bush
Parada feia pra quem vive campereando
Tough situation for those who live the cowboy life
Tempo cerrado no sem fim das sesmarias
Closed weather in the endless expanses
Vai me atrasando até as esquila das oveia
It keeps delaying me until the sheep shearing
Que eu já não pego meus bagual faz uns seis dias
That I haven't caught my wild horses for about six days
Já tô apostando que quase tudo veiaqueia
I'm betting that almost everything is aging
Minhas alpargata tão virada nuns tamanco
My alpargatas are turned into clogs
E eu não agüento mais usar bota de goma
And I can't stand wearing rubber boots anymore
Já trancei laço corda forte e barbicacho
I've braided strong rope and reins
Pro tropillero fiz uns dez buçal de doma
For the horseman, I made about ten taming bridles
Ainda por cima a brasina vaca mansa
On top of that, the tame cow
Foi se meter num manancial lá da invernada
Went to a stream in the pasture
Tirei a pobre na cincha do pingo mouro
I took the poor thing from the Moor horse's saddle
Salvei o couro e as achúrias pra cuscada
I saved the hide and the leftovers for the feast
