Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Larguei a tropa que chamei de destino

I left the troop that I called destiny

Cavalos buenos, ajuntei municio

Good horses, I gathered ammunition

Para peleguear a carestia braba

To struggle against the fierce cost of living

Ter mais garrão para o sacrifício

To have more strength for the sacrifice


Aprendi na lida com tropeiros tauras

I learned from dealing with brave drovers

Que a vida simples para quem tropeou

That a simple life is for those who trod

Volta quem pode, quem não pode encilha

One returns if able, if unable, saddles up

Pra juntar-se aos sonhos que se desgarrou

To join the dreams that have strayed


Cuida de mim para viver contigo

Take care of me to live with you

Seguir a estrada sem voltar atrás

Follow the road without turning back

Cuidar de ti é meu jeito amigo

Caring for you is my friendly way

De trançar carinhos e viver em paz

Weaving affection and living in peace


O que faltava encontrei contigo

What was missing, I found with you

Rondando a tropa pela sesmaria

Around the troop in the ranch

Cercas revisadas e sinuelos mansos

Fences checked and gentle lassos

Pra seguir tranqüilo ao clarear do dia

To move peacefully at the break of day


Encontrei a paz nessa caminhada

I found peace in this journey

Para ser feliz eu voltei aqui

To be happy, I returned here

Nestas aguadas eu matei a sede

In these water holes, I quenched my thirst

E ouvi o canto de um bem-te-vi

And heard the song of a great kiskadee
