Rodopiado Lyrics Translation in English

Veneno, veneno

Poison, poison

Veneno pinga da boca daquela cobra

Snake's venom dripping from its mouth

Oi, tava me olhando, mundiando, olhei pra ela

Hey, she was looking at me, wandering, I looked at her

E digo, sou vaqueiro marajoara

And I say, I'm a Marajoara cowboy

Esses olhos de cobra se encontram com o meu

Those snake eyes meet mine

Acho que vai me encantar

I think it will enchant me

Numa cantiga pra dança do vaga-lume

In a song for the firefly dance

No chover viro perfume, no vento quero espalhar

In the rain, I turn into perfume, in the wind, I want to spread

No laço o vaqueiro é moda

In the lasso, the cowboy is a trend

Na campina eia o gado

In the field, herding the cattle

Meu coração nunca esquece

My heart never forgets

Hoje eu vou cantar rodopiado

Today I'm going to sing, spinning around

Sentindo o gosto do veneno do mercúrio

Feeling the taste of mercury poison

Descendo o rio rasgadura, vi Quintino na tocaia

Going down the river's tear, I saw Quintino in ambush

Andei as léguas proibidas, tô farpado

I walked forbidden leagues, I'm barbed

Tô cercado de absurdo e muita gente no estirão

I'm surrounded by absurdity and many people in the stretch

Jurei na romana o cipoar da vaqueirada, guarnecê

I swore in the Roman way to adorn the cowboy's parade
