Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Levantei cedo pra tomar meu mate amargo

I woke up early to have my bitter mate

Lembrei do pago das coisas que eu fazia

I remembered the homeland, the things I used to do

Lidar com o gado logo após o chimarrão

Dealing with the cattle right after the chimarrão

Lida campeira de todo o dia

Rural work throughout the day

Das gineteadas no lombo de algum ventana

From the rodeos on the back of some ventana

Das carreiradas que não esqueço jamais

From the wild rides that I'll never forget

Toque de gaita num fandango e domingueira

Accordion playing in a fandango and Sunday gathering

São coisas boas ficaram pra traz

Good things that are left behind


Hoje só resta esta saudade dos tempos de outrora

Now only this longing remains for the times of yore

Lembrando do passado a minha alma canta e chora

Remembering the past, my soul sings and cries


Quanta saudade quando lembro do bragado

How much I miss it when I remember the bragado

Pingo ensinado parceiro de toda lida

Well-trained horse, partner in all work

Do cusco baio campeiro sempre latindo

The brown rural dog always barking

Até em sonhos fico ouvindo

Even in dreams, I keep hearing

Hoje vivendo as duras penas da saudade

Now living the harsh pains of nostalgia

E a longa idade já me impede de voltar

And old age prevents me from going back

Àquele tempo e àquele lugar meu

To that time and that place of mine

Que me orgulha e que me faz remoçar

That makes me proud and rejuvenates me
