Vida Na Roça Lyrics Translation in English

Aqui na roça cinco horas o galo canta

Here in the countryside, at five o'clock, the rooster crows

E o sono nóis espanta vou pra lida trabalhar

And it startles away our sleep, I go to work

Separo as vacas os touros e os bezerros

I separate the cows, the bulls, and the calves

Meu cachorro perdigueiro vai na frente pra ajudar

My hound dog goes ahead to help

Nove e meia meu cavalo ta suado

By nine-thirty, my horse is sweaty

Eu vou pegar no pesado pra logo terminar

I start heavy work to finish soon

Corto lenha estico cerca puxo tora

I chop wood, stretch fences, pull logs

E com mais de uma hora vou pra casa descansar

And after over an hour, I go home to rest

A minha casa fica la no pé da serra

My house is down by the mountain

Quando da umas onze horas eu espero na janela

Around eleven o'clock, I wait by the window

La vem ela com os livros amassados

Here she comes with her wrinkled books

E com cabelo amassado coisa linda de se ver

And with her messed-up hair, a beautiful sight to see

Quando cai a noite aqui na campina

When night falls here in the fields

Nóis ascende a lamparina e pesca no ribeirão

We light the lamp and fish in the stream

E depois com peixe de um metro e meio

And later with a fish a meter and a half long

Nóis ascende o fogareiro e bota fogo no bailão

We light up the stove and start a fire for the dance

Bota fogo bota fogo no bailão regado a pinga de alambique e comendo peixe bão

Start the fire, start the fire for the dance, fueled by homemade liquor and eating good fish

Bota fogo bota fogo no bailão regado a pinga de alambique e comendo peixe bão

Start the fire, start the fire for the dance, fueled by homemade liquor and eating good fish
