English Translation

Eu te agradeço tordilho

I thank you, bay horse

Por esta garrão de potro

For this colt's strong hind leg

Me carregaste no lombo

You carried me on your back

E nos pés depois de morto

And on my feet after death


Lhe agradeço e bendigo

I thank and bless you, bay horse

Tordilho muy companheiro

Faithful companion bay horse

Eu sempre te chamei de amigo

I always called you a friend

Fiel parceiro estradeiro

Faithful companion on the road


Pingo buenaço e ligeiro

Noble and swift little horse

Garboso e de boa marcha

Proud and with a good gait

Montado me fez caudilho

Ridden, you made me a leader

Me fez gaucho e monarca

You made me a gaucho and a monarch


Nos dias de lida amigo

In days of work, my friend

Ou nos encontros de guerra

Or in the encounters of war

Esteve sempre comigo

You were always with me

Pra demarcar esta terra

To demarcate this land


Tordilha garrão de potro

Bay horse with a strong hind leg

Onde encilho as nazarenas

Where I saddle the reins

Aqui se calça meus pés

Here, my feet are fitted

Faz as distancias pequenas

Makes the distances small


Tordilha garrão de potro

Bay horse with a strong hind leg

Onde calço choradeiras

Where I put on the mourning

Te fiz do meu pingo amigo

I made you my faithful steed

Saudade pra vida inteira

Longing for a lifetime


E esta garrão de potro

And this colt's strong hind leg

Que me faz grudar no lombo

That makes me stick to the saddle

Apoiando minhas esporas

Supporting my spurs

E me livrando do tombo

And saving me from a fall


Que sempre trago comigo

That I always carry with me

Nos dias de lida e doma

In days of work and taming

E sinto dentro do peito

And I feel inside my chest

Que tem a alma redomona

That the soul is untamed
