Tacale Pau Marco Véio Lyrics Translation in English

Olhei de longe parecia Assombração

From afar it looked like a ghost

Bem lá no alto do morro entre a poeira e a cerração

Up there on top of the hill amid the dust and mist

Avistei um vulto no meio da polvadeira

I saw a figure in the midst of the dust

Vinha descendo a ladeira dando o pau com as duas mãos

Coming down the slope, wielding the whip with both hands

Chegando perto fui ver o que acontecia

Approaching, I went to see what was happening

Era o Marco índio ginete que da doma conhecia

It was Marco, the Indian rider who knew the art of taming

Mazza marco véio

Mazza, old Marco

Dale Cancha e dale pau

Go ahead, give it your all

Mete o reio, crava espora, não frocha taca-le o pau

Use the whip, dig in the spurs, don't hesitate, hit it hard

Taca-le o pau Marco véio, Taca-le o pau

Hit it hard, old Marco, Hit it hard

Taca-le o pau Marco véio, Taca-le o pau

Hit it hard, old Marco, Hit it hard

Taca-le o pau Marco véio, Taca-le o pau

Hit it hard, old Marco, Hit it hard

E mostra pra vó Salvelina como se doma um bagual

And show Grandma Salvelina how to tame a wild one

Olhei de longe parecia Assombração

From afar it looked like a ghost

Bem lá no alto do morro entre a poeira e a cerração

Up there on top of the hill amid the dust and mist

Avistei um vulto no meio da polvadeira

I saw a figure in the midst of the dust

Vinha descendo a ladeira dando o pau com as duas mãos

Coming down the slope, wielding the whip with both hands

Chegando perto fui ver o que acontecia

Approaching, I went to see what was happening

Era o Marco índio ginete que da doma conhecia

It was Marco, the Indian rider who knew the art of taming

Mazza marco véio

Mazza, old Marco

Dale Cancha e dale pau

Go ahead, give it your all

Mete o reio, crava espora, não frocha taca-le o pau

Use the whip, dig in the spurs, don't hesitate, hit it hard

Taca-le o pau Marco véio, Taca-le o pau

Hit it hard, old Marco, Hit it hard

Taca-le o pau Marco véio, Taca-le o pau

Hit it hard, old Marco, Hit it hard

Taca-le o pau Marco véio, Taca-le o pau

Hit it hard, old Marco, Hit it hard

E mostra pra vó Salvelina como se doma um bagual

And show Grandma Salvelina how to tame a wild one
