Barraca Armada Lyrics Translation in English

Tiro de laço gineteada, companheirada, bom chimarrão

Lasso shots, rodeo, comrades, good chimarrão

No sarandeio belas chinocas no entremeio, uma canção

In the dance, beautiful girls in between, a song

Trovas, repentes, bons violeiros, canções nativas e o carreteiro

Verses, improvisations, good guitarists, native songs, and the wagoner

Entrelaçados em harmonia, ao pé do fogo neste rodeio

Interwoven in harmony, by the fire in this rodeo

É no acampamento, lugar da pousada, onde se descansa

It's in the camp, resting place, where one rests

Mas sempre de barraca armada

But always with a tent set up

E a gauchada toda animada, dança com as prendas de barraca armada

And the country folks all excited, dance with the ladies with the tent set up

Tem gaita ponto entreverada com a pianada tem desafio

Accordion playing intertwined with the piano, there's a challenge

Mas nunca falta o piá campeiro, todo pilchado no correntio

But the young rural boy is never missing, all dressed up in his gear

Fica bombeando o que se passa e apavorado conta o que viu

He keeps pumping what's going on and, scared, tells what he saw

É no acampamento, lugar da pousada, onde se descansa

It's in the camp, resting place, where one rests

Mas sempre de barraca armada

But always with a tent set up

Sobre os pelegos papo pro ar, lindo lembrar belos salseiros

About the sheepskins, chatting away, lovely to remember beautiful gatherings

Cama de arreios a campo fora, tinir de esporas no pastoreio

Saddle bed out in the field, jingling of spurs in herding

No fim de tarde marcas de estacas, sinal de pata da gineteada

In the late afternoon, marks of stakes, signs of the horsebreaking

Resta lembrança de belos feitos e sem tardança finda o rodeio

Remains the memory of beautiful deeds and without delay, the rodeo ends
