Gaiteiro Murrinha Lyrics Translation in English

Por gostar muito de trago, fandango e china

For loving a lot of booze, fandango, and flirtation

Boleei os quartos lá pras costas da Argentina

I rolled the dice, heading towards the back of Argentina

Fui a procura de sarna pra me coçar

I went in search of trouble to scratch myself

Louco pra me incomodar com alguma alma cretina

Crazy to bother with some wretched soul

E um gaiteiro murrinha lá da região

And a stubborn accordion player from the region

Querendo armar confusão na minha gaita quis tocar

Wanting to stir up trouble, wanted to play on my accordion

Nem liguei muito, nem dei conversa, nem bola

I didn't pay much attention, didn't engage, didn't bother

Por que eu sou professor da escola que ele tá querendo entrar

Because I am the teacher of the school he's trying to enter

(I love You, and you love my

(I love You, and you love my

Isto eu cantava nos meus tempos de guri)

This I sang in my childhood days)

De certa feita num rodeio lá em Barretos

Once, at a rodeo in Barretos

Para comer eu procurava algum galeto

Looking for some chicken to eat

E umas gurias querendo que eu desse a prova

And some girls wanting me to show off

Me cederam carne nova e eu já botei no espeto

They offered fresh meat, and I put it on the skewer

Festa e trago, dia e noite, noite e dia

Party and booze, day and night, night and day

E na folia que eu não sou de refugar

And in the revelry, I don't shy away

Lá nas barracas encontrei o que eu queria

At the stalls, I found what I wanted

É depois da montaria que a noite pega esquentar

It's after the bull ride that the night really heats up
