De Chão Batido Lyrics Translation in English
Os SerranosPortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Em xucras bailantas de fundo de campo
In rugged dances from the bottom of the field
O fole e tranco vão acolherados
The accordion and the whip will resound
O índio bombeia pro taco da bota
The Indian pumps for the boot's spur
E o destino galopa num sonho aporreado
And destiny gallops in a beaten dream
Polvadeira levanta entre o sarandeio
Dust rises amid the dancing
E é lindo o rodeio de chinas bonitas
And the rodeo of beautiful women is lovely
Quem tem lida dura e a ideia madura
Those with hard work and mature ideas
Com trago de pura a alma palpita
With a sip of pure, the soul throbs
Atávico surungo de chão batido
Atavistic gathering on beaten ground
Xucrismo curtido na tarca do tempo
Seasoned rusticity in the harness of time
Refaz invernadas de ânsias perdidas
It redoes wintering of lost longings
E encilha a vida no lombo do vento
And saddles life on the back of the wind
Faz parte do mundo do homem campeiro
It's part of the world of the countryside man
Dançar altaneiro no fim de semana
Dancing proudly on the weekend
O gaúcho se arrima nos braços da china
The gaucho leans on the arms of the woman
E cutuca a sina com um trago de cana
And pokes at fate with a sip of cane
Basta estar num fandango do nosso Rio Grande
Just being in a fandango of our Rio Grande
Pra ver que se expande esse elo gaúcho
To see that this gaucho bond expands
Esta pura verdade que não tem idade
This pure truth that has no age
É a nossa identidade aguentando o repuxo
Is our identity enduring the pull
Atávico surungo de chão batido
Atavistic gathering on beaten ground
Xucrismo curtido na tarca do tempo
Seasoned rusticity in the harness of time
Refaz invernadas de ânsias perdidas
It redoes wintering of lost longings
E encilha a vida no lombo do vento
And saddles life on the back of the wind
