English Translation

Quando me lembro dos pagos nos dias de castração

When I remember the lands during castration days

O laço corria frouxo, o mate de mão em mão

The lasso ran loose, the mate passed from hand to hand

O touro brabo berrava pra se escapar do peão

The wild bull bellowed trying to escape from the cowboy

Mas a faca castradeira fazia o serviço no chão

But the castration knife did the job on the ground


Me lembro da tia Picucha que era surda de um ouvido

I remember Aunt Picucha who was deaf in one ear

Andava sempre brigando com um fogão velho entupido

She was always fighting with an old, clogged stove

Chegava de meio-dia tava tudo a "resolvido"

She'd arrive at noon and everything was "resolved"

Servia pra peonada cuião de touro cozido

She served the cowboy crew boiled bull's testicles


Enquanto os "home" comiam a véia ficava em pé

While the men ate, the old lady stood

Gritava de vez em quando: "se sirvam quando quiser

She'd shout from time to time: "serve yourselves whenever you want"

Não usem de cerimônia, tem mais cuião pra quem quer

Don't be shy, there's more for those who want

Se já comeram a vontade, agora é a vez das "muié!"

If you've eaten enough, now it's the ladies' turn!


E as filhas da Laudelina gostavam de uma brincadeira

And Laudelina's daughters liked to have fun

Dançavam com todo mundo no surungo a noite inteira

They danced with everyone all night long

E a gaita do Belizário com o fole qual uma peneira

And Belizário's accordion, with the bellows like a sieve

Levantava a saia delas no balanço da vaneira

Raised their skirts in the swing of the vaneira
