Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Na viola eu pegava pra vê se me consolava disso que me aconteceu

On the guitar, I played to see if it would console me from what happened to me

A viola só gemia parece que ela dizia Chico Mineiro morreu

The guitar only moaned, it seemed to say Chico Mineiro has died

Quando eu via uma boiada levantar poeira na estrada e o grito do boiadeiro

When I saw a cattle herd raising dust on the road and the cowboy's yell

De tristeza até chorava pra mim me representava grito de Chico Mineiro

Out of sadness, I even cried, it represented to me the cry of Chico Mineiro


Acabrunhado eu vivia de noite já nem dormia sempre triste a soluçar

Downcast, I lived, at night I couldn't sleep, always sad and sobbing

Da grande dor que eu sentia por dentro me remoía resolvi de me vingar

From the great pain I felt, it gnawed at me inside, I decided to take revenge

Peguei o trinta embalado na cinta o punhal afiado e sai com o destino

I took the thirty loaded in the belt, the dagger sharpened, and left with a purpose

De encontrar com o valentão que matou o meu irmão no sertão de Ouro Fino

To meet the bully who killed my brother in the Ouro Fino backcountry


Topei com esse malvado um cabra mal encarado na hora desafiei

I faced this villain, a tough-looking fellow, I challenged him on the spot

Ele veio pro meu lado eu com o punhal afiado em seu peito lhe cravei

He came towards me, I with the sharpened dagger, plunged it into his chest

Deixei o tal estendido no derradeiro gemido pra Deus eu pedi perdão

I left him lying with his final groan, I asked God for forgiveness

Eu fez isto por vingança chorando a triste lembrança da morte do meu irmão

I did this for vengeance, crying for the sad memory of my brother's death
