Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

O bugio não chegou de carancho pra alegrar o meu pampa querido

The howler monkey didn't come like a carancho to cheer up my beloved pampa

Nasceu ele num baile de rancho na poeira do chão bem batido

He was born at a ranch dance in the dust of a well-trodden floor

É crioulo do lombo da serra traz na alma o sorriso da terra

He's a criollo from the mountain's back, carries in his soul the smile of the land

E um tranco bem divertido

And a quite entertaining jolt


(O jeitão do macaco pampeano

(The style of the Pampas monkey

E que a dança balança e expande

And the dance sways and expands

Alegria de noite e de dia

Joy at night and during the day

Pró quem dança o bugio do Rio Grande)

For those who dance the howler monkey of Rio Grande)


É sucesso por toda a campanha quando baila atropela descanso

It's a success throughout the countryside, when it dances, it overcomes rest

Traz o ritmo, a ginga e manha no seu contrapasso de ganso

Brings the rhythm, the sway, and skill in its goose-like counterstep

O bugio é gaúcho bem taita quando ronca no fole do gaita

The howler monkey is a true gaucho when it roars in the accordion's bellows

É gostoso de ver seu balanço

It's delightful to see its sway


/O bugio é o alegria do pampa nas munhecas do índio gaiteiro

(The howler monkey is the joy of the pampa in the wrists of the Indian accordionist

Traz no porte a própria estampa do garrão deste sul brasileiro

Carries in its demeanor the very image of the hindquarters of this southern Brazilian)

Quando toca o bugio no fandango se misturam gaúchos chimangos

When the howler monkey plays in the fandango, gauchos mix with chimangos

E maragatos no mesmo candeeiro/

And maragatos under the same lamplight
