Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Chorei porque fiquei sem meu amor
I cried because I was without my love
O gavião malvado
The wicked hawk
Bateu asa
Flapped its wings
Foi com ela que me deixou
It was with her that left me
Chorei porque fiquei sem meu amor
I cried because I was without my love
O gavião malvado
The wicked hawk
Bateu asa
Flapped its wings
Foi com ela que me deixou
It was with her that left me
Nosso ranchinho tava bom
Our little ranch was good
Gente de fora entrou, "trapaiô"
Outsiders came, "deceived"
Nosso ranchinho tava bom
Our little ranch was good
Gente de fora entrou, "trapaiô"
Outsiders came, "deceived"
Estou aqui pra brincar
I'm here to play
Eu quero é me divertir
I want to have fun
Dou um boi pra não brigar
I'll give up a steer to avoid a fight
Boiada pra não sair
A herd so it won't scatter
Nosso ranchinho tava bom
Our little ranch was good
Gente de fora entrou, "trapaiô"
Outsiders came, "deceived"
Nosso ranchinho tava bom
Our little ranch was good
Gente de fora entrou, "trapaiô"
Outsiders came, "deceived"

Dizem que Cristo nasceu em Belém
They say Christ was born in Bethlehem
A História se enganou
History was mistaken
