English Translation

Pega de boi no mato

Catch the ox in the woods

Corrida de prado

Meadow race

Pega de boi no mato

Catch the ox in the woods

Corrida de prado

Meadow race


Bate esteira

Beat the mat

Vai na beirada da cerca

Go along the edge of the fence

Bicho véi bom de mourão

Old creature good at the post

Mas o vaqueiro aqui que pega o boi no mato

But the cowboy here who catches the ox in the woods

É o kamikaze do sertão

Is the kamikaze of the backcountry


Vai se embrenhar na catingueira

Will delve into the catingueira

Jurema corta com certeza

Jurema cuts for sure

Vai se embrenhar na catingueira

Will delve into the catingueira

E a sua couraça é o gibão

And its armor is the jacket


Chapéu de couro

Leather hat

O laço já tá preparado pra pegar garrote novo

The lasso is already prepared to catch a new calf

E arrastar no meio do mato

And drag it into the middle of the woods

Cavalo crioulo

Criollo horse

Bicho véio, onde bota ele vai

Old creature, wherever you put it

Casqueia o casco na trilha da catingueira

Shoes the hoof on the catingueira trail

E sabe pronde vai

And knows where it's going

Sabe pronde vai

Knows where it's going


Lá tem

There it has

Caranguejeira, bicho rasteiro

Spider, a crawling creature

Pedra de checho, pedra de checho

Checho stone, checho stone
