English Translation

Fui dar os meus passeios na minha mula ruzia

I went for my rides on my russet mule

Foi a minha sina sorte, quase morrer nesse dia

It was my fate, almost died on that day

Sendo que eu não merecia...

Considering I didn't deserve it...

Dois tiros de garrucha vi na minha direção

I saw two shots from a musket aimed at me

Minha mula refugou, passou raspando no chão,

My mule shied away, narrowly missing the ground

Foi a minha salvação.

It was my salvation


No mourão do mata burro o cabra tava escondido

By the fence of the cattle guard, the man was hidden

Descobri o esconderijo no clarão dos estampido

I discovered the hiding place in the flash of gunfire

E rumei no seu sentido...

And headed in his direction

Dei sinal pra minha mula que pisou com macieza

I signaled to my mule, which stepped softly

Dei a volta na porteira peguei ele de surpresa

I circled the gate, caught him by surprise

Era o Chico da Tereza.

It was Chico da Tereza


Com o rabo de tatu eu dei bem no vão da orelha

With a tatu's tail, I hit right in the ear's opening

O caboclo não gostou fez uma cara tão feia

The man didn't like it, made such an ugly face

Jogando o corpo na areia...

Throwing the body on the sand

Amarrei ele na mula e levei pro delegado

I tied him to the mule and took him to the sheriff

Tocaieiro ficou preso no xadrez ficou guardado

The ambusher stayed imprisoned, locked up in the cell

Vendo o sol nascer quadrado.

Watching the sun rise square


Virei o mulão no casco e voltei lá pra fazenda

I turned the mule around on its hoof and went back to the farm

A Tereza me esperava com seu vestido de renda

Tereza was waiting for me in her lace dress

Tava linda a minha prenda...

My sweetheart looked beautiful

Joguei ela na garupa fui morar em Santa Rita

I put her on the saddle, went to live in Santa Rita

Duas coisas nesse mundo que o meu coração palpita

Two things in this world that make my heart beat

Mula boa e "muié" bonita.

A good mule and a beautiful woman
