Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Dom Pedroli me mandou

Dom Pedroli sent me

Esta protanca tordilha

This chestnut mare

Arisca como traíra

Wild as a traitor

Ligeira igual andorinha

Swift as a swallow


Muito embora caborteira

Even though she's a wild one

Há de ser minha encilha

She will be my saddle

Trovejo o mango na cara

I thunder the bit in her face

E roseteio na virilha

And I twirl the whip in her groin


Protanca tordilha, por estas coxilhas

This chestnut mare, across these hills

Nenhum me governou

None has tamed me

Cravo as esporas porteira à fora

I spur on, out the gate

se ajeita do jeito que eu sou

She adjusts to the way I am


Um carancho fachudaço

A cunning carancho

abre asas na tronqueira

Spreads wings on the pole

Retrata a alma do pago

Portrays the soul of the land

Asa aberta a vida inteira

Wings open throughout life


Lavo o sangue das esporas

I wash the blood off the spurs

Em alguma volta de sanga

In some turn of the stream

Meu tirador traz a marca

My puller bears the mark

de espinhos da japecanga

Thorns from the japecanga


Vou deixar esta protanca

I'll leave this chestnut mare

domada em lida campeira

Tamed in the countryside work

pois a fama de minha rédea

For the fame of my rein

Já atravessou a fronteira

Has already crossed the border


He! de ver esta crinuda

Hey! To see this maned one

Muito guapa num rodeio

Very handsome in a rodeo

atenta trocando orelha

Attentive, swapping ears

sempre forçando no freio

Always pushing on the brake
