Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Na fazenda onde nasci, ali mesmo fui criado

In the farm where I was born, right there I was raised

Na escolinha da fazenda onde fui matriculado

In the farm school where I was enrolled

A filha do meu patrão sentava ali do meu lado

The daughter of my boss sat right beside me

Juramos de nos casar e um do outro ser amado

We swore to marry and love each other


Eu era bom empregado, querido do fazendeiro

I was a good employee, beloved by the farmer

Aprendi lidar com gado, meu serviço era campeiro

I learned to deal with cattle; my job was as a herder

Um cachorro policial eu tinha por companheiro

I had a police dog as a companion

Que na hora do perigo o cão chegava primeiro

Who, in times of danger, the dog arrived first


Pedi ela em casamento, o velho disse que sim

I asked her to marry me; the old man said yes

No dia do matrimônio, que dia lindo pra mim

On the day of matrimony, what a beautiful day for me

Morar em casa bonita, na frente um lindo jardim

To live in a beautiful house, in front a beautiful garden

E ter a mulher mais linda pra viver junto de mim

And to have the most beautiful woman to live with me


Um dia a mulher me disse, escute o que eu digo agora

One day, the woman said to me, listen to what I say now

Não quero mais o cachorro na casa que a gente mora

I don't want the dog in the house where we live

Vai ter que matar o cão se não quer que eu vá embora

You'll have to kill the dog if you don't want me to leave

Chamei o pobre cachorro pra matar na mesma hora

I called the poor dog to kill it at that very moment


Eu peguei minha canoa, o cachorro acompanhou

I took my canoe, and the dog followed

Ao passar na correnteza minha canoa virou

While crossing the rapids, my canoe overturned

O meu sentido sumiu porque a água me afogou

I lost my sense because the water drowned me

Estava quase morrendo o cachorro me salvou

I was almost dying; the dog saved me


Eu ia matar o cão como se fosse inimigo

I was going to kill the dog as if it were an enemy

Mas foi ele quem salvou-me daquele triste perigo

But it was he who saved me from that sad danger

Hoje em dia sou feliz e com alegria digo

Nowadays, I am happy, and with joy, I say

Tenho uma mulher amada, também um cachorro amigo

I have a beloved woman, also a loyal dog
