Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Sou uma cria da fronteira

I am a child of the border

Criado a leite de vaca

Raised on cow's milk

EU fui templado ao rigor

I was tempered rigorously

Nem mesmo a gripe me ataca

Not even the flu attacks me

Moro no meio do campo

I live in the middle of the field

Lá no capão do xiró

There in the thicket of Xiró

Tenho um cavalo amilhado

I have a milky-colored horse

E gosto de viver só

And I like to live alone


Minha mãe uma chinoca

My mother was a 'chinoca'

Que usava fror no cabelo

Who wore flowers in her hair

Me pariu a campo fora

She gave birth to me out in the field

Pra ser gaúcho e campeiro

To be a gaucho and rancher

Saiu esse queixo roxo

This tough guy

Há de cumprir sua sina

Will fulfill his destiny

Sou taura e não cabresteio

I'm tough and won't be led

Nem com sinuelo de china

Not even by the allure of a woman


Cresci como cresce um touro

I grew up like a bull

Levantando terra e escarvando

Lifting earth and digging

Desde do ventre da minha mãe

From my mother's womb

Já saltei atropelando

I already jumped around

Berrando grosso e bem forte

Bellowing loud and strong

Sobre na costa do uruguai

Up on the banks of the Uruguay

Pois sou filho do rio grande

For I am a son of Rio Grande

Me orgulho de ti meu pai.

I'm proud of you, my father
