Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

A tarde abafou o espaço sol e mormaço mandando ver

The afternoon stifled the space, sun and haze going strong

Andava no meu picaço me fui ao passo dar de beber

I rode on my horse at a leisurely pace to give it a drink

A balsa ia rio acima e uma morena de lá sorriu

The ferry went up the river, and a brunette from there smiled

Botou uma flor no cabelo me atirou um beijo e depois sumiu

She put a flower in her hair, threw me a kiss, and then disappeared


Quem sabe fosse a morena uma estancieira buscando amor

Maybe the brunette was a rancher seeking love

Quem sabe ficou parada nesta fachada de domador

Maybe she stood still in this facade of a tamer

Quem sabe naquela trança tem uma herança e dinheiro tanto

Maybe in that braid, there's an inheritance and so much money

Que um tipo viva crinudo e vendendo tudo ainda sobre campo

That a guy lives with long hair, selling everything, still with land


Fiquei meio enfeitiçado sempre enredado no assobio

I was somewhat bewitched, always entangled in the whistle

A moça no pensamento e os olhos sempre rondando rio

The girl in my thoughts, and my eyes always roaming the river

Um dia sei que ela volta se a balsa sobe tem que descer

One day I know she'll come back, if the ferry goes up, it has to come down

Pintando o rio de aquarela e trazendo nela o meu bem querer

Painting the river like a watercolor and bringing in her my love


(Morena fique sabendo que eu quero mesmo é mudar de vida

(Brunette, know that I really want to change my life

Já chega de pantomina com essas meninas de má bebida

Enough of pantomime with these girls of bad drink

Eu sou um partido de luxo flor de gaúcho além de ser

I am a high-class match, a true gaucho flower, besides being

Doutor num jogo de truco borracho e louco por chamamé)

Doctor in a game of truco, drunkard, and crazy about chamamé)


Doutor num jogo de truco borracho e louco por chamamé

Doctor in a game of truco, drunkard, and crazy about chamamé

Doutor num jogo de truco borracho e louco por chamamé

Doctor in a game of truco, drunkard, and crazy about chamamé

E louco por chamamé e louco por chamamé

And crazy about chamamé, and crazy about chamamé
