Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Poncho molhado, o olhar na tropa

Wet poncho, gaze on the troop

E no horizonte

And on the horizon

Vai o tropeiro, devagar, estrada a fora

The drover goes, slowly, down the road

A chuva encharca, está chovendo desde ontonte

The rain soaks, it's been raining since yesterday

Doi dentro d'alma, esta demora

It hurts inside the soul, this delay


Irmão do gado, ele se sente nesta hora

Brother of the cattle, he feels it at this moment

E o seu destino, também vai, neste reponte

And his destiny, also goes, in this reponte

Igual a tropa, neste tranco, estrada a fora

Like the troop, in this jolt, down the road

Sempre encharcado de horizonte

Always soaked with horizon


A tropa segue, devagar, mugindo tonta

The troop follows, slowly, mooing dazed

Talvez pressinta que seu fim

Perhaps sensing that its end

É o matadouro

Is the slaughterhouse

E o tropeiro, entristecido, se dá conta

And the drover, saddened, realizes

O boi é bicho, mas tem alma sob o couro

The ox is an animal, but has a soul beneath the hide

O boi é bicho, mas tem alma sob o couro

The ox is an animal, but has a soul beneath the hide
