Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Tento forte bem sovado

I try hard, well pounded

Desquinado couro cru

Unbuckled raw leather

Maneando as abas do basto

Handling the flaps of the saddle

Velho e bueno paysandú

Old and good paysandú


No xucro ritual campeiro

In the rustic rural ritual

Domas, tropas, campereadas

Taming, herding, rural events

Moldou-se o quatro cabeças

The four heads were shaped

Ao longo da cavalhada

Throughout the cavalcade


Lume a placa na estriveira

Lighting the plate on the stirrup

Com três frisos em cada lado

With three grooves on each side

Basteira feita a capricho

Basteira made with care

Pra o lombo não ser pisado

So the back is not stepped on


Teu rangido é melodia

Your creak is a melody

Neste destino xirú

In this cowboy destiny

Relíquia de um fronteiriço

Relic of a borderman

Velho basto paysandú

Old paysandú saddle


Acomodou-se de fato

It adapted well indeed

Na rudeza do seviço

In the roughness of the job

No formato encanoado

In the coiled shape

Pra o domador por ofício

For the rider by trade


Sovado a golpe e rodada

Pounded with blows and rounds

Sua serventia é eterna

Its usefulness is eternal

Traz o recurso na alça

Carries the resource in the strap

Se faltar força na perna.

If strength is lacking in the leg.
