Tordilha Garrão de Potro Lyrics Translation in English
Quarteto Coração de PotroPortuguese Lyrics
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
