Peão

You say you know me
I used to be a cowboy
I know these trails
Kilometers, miles
That come and go
Through the high plains
That now is called
No longer just plains
But sold-off land
Civilization

Winds that break windows
And tear down gates
Silver spurs scratching the borders
I saddled my horse
Pack on my back
Moving fast
A tight hug
And a heavy sigh
No more plains

The paths change with time
Only time can change a heart
Follow your cowboy fate
'Cause the cattle went on the truck

The campfire, the night
Hammocks in the barn
The guitar, the tune
The mate, the chat
The saga, the fate
The tale and the jaguar
There's no more

Oh, cowboy

Times and lives fulfilled
Dust, dirt, road
Stories contained
At the crossroads
In lost nights
In the middle of the world
Big wild world
Where everything is forest
And wild meadow
Big world ain't done

You know, for a good traveler
Nothing is too far
For a good friend
I don’t count money
There’s a life
A life lived
Felt and suffered
Fully experienced
And that’s the price of being Brazilian

The paths change with time
Only time can change a heart
Follow your cowboy fate
'Cause the cattle went on the truck

The campfire, the night
Hammocks in the barn
The guitar, the tune
The mate, the chat
The saga, the fate
The tale and the jaguar
There's no more

Oh, cowboy
