Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Num tranco campeiro bem à moda antiga

In a rustic jolt, in the old-fashioned way

Floreando cantigas de alma judiada

Flourishing songs of a bruised soul

Eu trago essa sina de andar gauderiando

I carry this fate of wandering in the Gaucho style

Por viver cantando não tenho morada

For living in song, I have no dwelling

Tocando em bailantas na noite campeira

Playing in country dances in the rural night

Floreio e vaneira num jeitão largado

Flourishing and dancing in a carefree manner

Pois o meu destino é de ser cantador

For my destiny is to be a singer

Na querência flor onde eu fui criado

In the flowery land where I was raised


Floreando a cordeona num verso me acampo

Flourishing the accordion, I set up camp in a verse

Sou a voz do campo quando a alma canta

I am the voice of the countryside when the soul sings

Sistema gaúcho que tem por ofício

Gaucho system that has the craft

Esse xucro vício de animar bailantas

This rustic habit of livening up country dances


Cruzando caminhos encurto distâncias

Crossing paths, I shorten distances

Galopeando as âncias da sina estradeira

Galloping the stretches of the wandering fate

A vida no campo moldurou minha raça

Life in the countryside shaped my race

Herança machaça gaúcha bandeira

A rough heritage, the Gaucho flag

Nesses horizontes vou de pago em pago

In these horizons, from settlement to settlement

O canto que trago ao mundo ofereço

The song I bring to the world, I offer

Canto a liberdade num viver teatino

Singing freedom in a theatrical life

E no meu destino ninguém bota preço

And in my destiny, no one sets the price
