Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Eu tenho um cavalo manco

I have a lame horse

Que corre mais que eu

That runs faster than me

Já correu cinco carreira

He has run five races

Todas as cinco ele perdeu

He lost all five


Quisera vender meu manco

I wanted to sell my lame one

Porque ele só tem três pé

Because he only has three legs

Vou botar ele na rifa

I'll put him in the raffle

Que saia pra quem quis é

Let it go to whoever wants


Oi que cavalo ruim

Oh, what a bad horse

Oi que cavalo ruim

Oh, what a bad horse


Já tô mesmo aborrecido

I'm really fed up

Com esse cavalo meu

With this horse of mine

Tenho uma ferida na testa

I have a wound on my forehead

De um coice que ele me deu

From a kick he gave me


Por isso já tô descrente

So I'm already disbelieving

De ter um cavalo assim

To have a horse like that

Já botei ele na rifa

I put him in the raffle

E o marvado saiu pra mim

And the darn thing came out to me


Oi que cavalo ruim

Oh, what a bad horse

Oi que cavalo ruim

Oh, what a bad horse


Breganhei meu cavalo manco

I traded my lame horse

Com uma égua corredeira

For a fast mare

Na primeira corrida tratada

In the first treated race

Minha égua fez besteira

My mare made a mistake


Já tava no virador

It was already at the turning point

Quando o juiz deu partida

When the judge gave the start

Ela fugiu com o cavalo

She ran off with the horse

E eu perdi a corrida

And I lost the race


Oi

Oh

(Que égua besta, compadre)

(What a foolish mare, compadre)
