Portuguese 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
