Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Existe cavalos bons

There are good horses

Pelos donos desprezados

Disdained by their owners

Esquecidos nos roçados

Forgotten in the fields

Sem boa alimentação

Without proper nourishment


Muitos prêmios conquistaram

Many prizes they won

Mais depois se machucaram

But later they got hurt

E os donos lhe retiraram

And their owners took them away

Dos festivais de Mourão

From the festivals of Mourão


Eu mesmo conheço um

I myself know one

Que ganhou diversas taças

Who won several trophies

Campeã de todas as raças

Champion of all races

Onde corria era um show

Where it ran, it was a spectacle

Vários estados correu

It ran in various states

Aonde correu venceu

Where it ran, it won

Depois que envelheceu

After it grew old

O dono lhe abandonou

The owner abandoned it


Um cavalo abandonado

An abandoned horse

Se por ventura falasse

If by chance it could speak

Toda vez que ao dono olhasse

Every time it looked at its owner

Rogava ao mesmo uma prece

It would pray to him

Não me solte no revesso

Don't release me in the rough

Não me deixe perder peso

Don't let me lose weight

Porque é que dão desprezo

Why do they give disdain

Agente quando envelhece

We, when we grow old


Se a natureza me desse

If nature gave me

Um cargo bem importante

A very important position

Eu fosse representante

I would be a representative

Dos vaqueiros e patrões

Of cowboys and bosses

Com todos me reunia

I would gather with everyone

Por justa causa daria

For a just cause I would give

Boa aposentadoria

Good retirement

Pra todos cavalos bons

For all good horses
