Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

De cavalo encilhado

With a saddled horse

Na frente da estância

In front of the ranch

O preparo prateado

The silver preparation

Luzia no Sol

Luzia in the sun

Com florão na peiteira

With a flourish on the breastplate

O encontro do mouro

The encounter of the Moor

Traz em fios de ouro

Brings in golden threads

Um campeiro arrebol

A countryside dawn


A pilcha reservada

The reserved attire

Pra folga da lida

For the leisure of work

E uma boinita antiga

And an old beret

Atirada pra trás

Thrown back

A bota fandangueira

The dancing boot

Vai junto aos peçuelos

Goes along the spurs

Pra não suar no cavalo

So as not to sweat on the horse

Ao trote no más

At a trot, at most


Com jeitão bem domingueiro

With a very Sunday style

Um mourito pela estrada

A little Moor on the road

Leva a estampa de campeiro

Carries the mark of a countryman

Pra os carinhos da amada

For the caresses of the beloved


Um pealo de cucharra

A peal of spoons

Parou o meu destino

Stopped my destiny

Qual um potro malino

Like a wild colt

Junto ao domador

Next to the trainer

E as ânsias de domingo

And the Sunday yearnings

Apearam do pingo

Got off the horse

Num ranchito fronteiro

In a little front ranch

Emponchado de amor

Wrapped in love


O pingo das confiança

The trusted horse

Pastando flechilha

Grazing on arrowgrass

Os arreios da encilha

The saddle's harness

Dentro do galpão

Inside the shed

O sonho de campeiro

The dream of a countryman

Estendendo baixeiro

Spreading a blanket

Pra bombear luzeiros

To pump starlight

Nessa imensidão

In this vastness


Com jeitão bem domingueiro

With a very Sunday style

Um mourito pela estrada

A little Moor on the road

Leva a estampa de campeiro

Carries the mark of a countryman

Pra os carinhos da amada

For the caresses of the beloved
