English Translation

Ali vem um destes tauras

Here comes one of these bulls

Que no calor das refregas

Who in the heat of battles

Forjou-se sobre o cavalo

Forged himself on the horse

Teve a pampa por escola

Had the pampa as his school

A lança, espada e a pistola

The spear, the sword, and the pistol

E o tino para guiá-lo

And the instinct to guide him


Não sendo dono da terra

Not being the owner of the land

Peleara como se fosse

Fought as if he were

O senhor das sesmarias

The lord of the sesmarias

Esquartejando horizontes

Dismembering horizons

Redesenhou mil confrontes

Redrawing a thousand conflicts

Nas épocas mais bravias

In the most ferocious times


E vai, essa rude estampa

And goes, this rough figure

Mescla de raiva e carinho

A mix of rage and affection

Bravura abrindo caminho

Bravery opening a path

Que a liberdade é um chamado

For freedom is a calling

Que a liberdade é um chamado

For freedom is a calling


Num ajuste fratricida

In a fratricidal settlement

De contas que nem são suas

Of accounts that are not even his

Verdades galopam nuas

Truths gallop naked

No pago sendo espoliado

In the land being plundered


Vai ser um diacho, adiante

It's going to be hell, ahead

Talvez a morte levante

Perhaps death will rise

No flanco de um descampado

In the flank of an open field

Com sorte, sobra-lhe a vida

With luck, life will remain

E as cicatrizes sortidas

And the assorted scars

De um direito conquistado

Of a conquered right


E do desenho cruento

And from the bloody design

Que reste ao tempo, e ao vento

Let time and the wind remain

Lições pra se repensar

Lessons to be reconsidered

Quem sabe o futuro entenda

Perhaps the future will understand

Que se resolvam contendas

That disputes should be resolved

Noutras formas de pelear

In other forms of fighting


Quem sabe o futuro entenda

Perhaps the future will understand

Que se resolvam contendas

That disputes should be resolved

Noutras formas de pelear

In other forms of fighting


E vai, essa rude estampa

And goes, this rough figure

Mescla de raiva e carinho

A mix of rage and affection

Bravura abrindo caminho

Bravery opening a path

Que a liberdade é um chamado

For freedom is a calling

Que a liberdade é um chamado

For freedom is a calling
