English Translation

Vou contar a minha história

I will tell my story

Do meu cavalo alazão

About my bay horse

Era meu melhor amigo

He was my best friend

Eu dei-lhe o nome lampião

I named him lampião

Por ser um destemido

Because he was fearless

Cavalo ligeiro, corajoso

Swift and brave horse

Onde ele ia comigo

Wherever he went with me

Gado valente era medroso

Even fierce cattle were timid


Fazia o que eu mandava

He did what I commanded

Subia serra, encerração

Climbed hills, faced enclosures

E em toda vaquejada

And in every cattle herding

Eu era sempre campeão

I was always the champion


E lampião, ê lampião

And lampião, oh lampião

Meu cavalo ligeiro

My swift horse

Mais veloz do meu sertão

The fastest in my hinterland


Era o cavalo mais cotado

He was the most praised horse

De toda região

In the entire region

Pois em toda a vaquejada

Because in every cattle herding

Todo boi ia pro chão

Every bull went down

Um vaqueiro respeitado

A respected cowboy

Era sempre campeão

Was always a champion

Tudo isso só por causa

All of this just because

Do meu cavalo lampião

Of my horse lampião


Mas um dia o destino

But one day destiny

Veio a gente separar

Came to separate us

Eu estava adivinhando

I was guessing

Na pista não entrar

Not to enter the track


Uma novilha assassina

A murderous heifer

Me puxou logo pro chão

Pulled me straight to the ground

Com seus chifres afiados

With its sharp horns

Veio em minha direção

Came toward me

Sem defesas, eu estava

Defenseless, I was

Partiu de lá, meu lampião

My lampião left from there

A novilha assassina

The murderous heifer

Acertou seu coração

Hit his heart
