Vaqueiro Desprezado

I'm going to tell a story, about a famous cowboy
Worked 60 years, on a cattle ranch
And after getting old, he was despised by the boss!

The boss said: Cowboy can't ride anymore, now
You're too old, listen to what I'm going to say, go
Find another place for you to live!

The cowboy said
Boss, I ask you a favor. I have no house or
Money and I don't know where to go, since I'm old and
Tired, let me live with you?

The boss said
Cowboy, your career is over. Take your
Hammock and your bag, I owe you nothing here! An old
Cowboy's place is to die on the road!

He took his suitcase and left, walking on that road, he
Closed the gate, the cattle ran, mooing
As they said: Stay, my old friend!

The horses neighed, stomping the ground. The
Calves cried, as if saying don't go!
And the poor cowboy continued on that road

After he left, the boss realized the value
Of a cowboy, that he could lose
Since the day he left, the cattle started to die

There was no more joy on that ranch... Everything was
Falling apart, every day a cow died!
And the boss, desperate, didn't know what to do

One day, the boss speaking
What have I done, my Lord?!
His wife listening, quickly replied
You're paying for the evil you did to the one who
Helped you!

And the boss got up, and quickly said
My wife, I'm going now, traveling all over Brazil!
I'll spend whatever it takes, but I'll bring back my cowboy!

He took his car, and left, in a hurry
Arriving in the capital, he asked the sheriff
Have you seen a cowboy, who was despised?!
The sheriff said
-Yes, I'll tell you, missing the ranch
Where he couldn't live, he asked to stay here, until the day
He dies?!

And the boss was sweating, in great despair, he asked
The sheriff
Let me see my cowboy? To save my
Ranch, I'll pay any money!

And the sheriff, quickly, made a warrant for the boss
When he saw his cowboy, in that cell, lying down
He hugged him and said to him
- Forgive me, I'm wrong!
And the cowboy got up and said
You're forgiven! The boss came to get me, to take care of
Your cattle?
He said: Yes sir! Since the day you left, everything's been
Falling apart

And the cowboy quickly, followed his boss
Arriving at the ranch, the excitement was so great! The
Cattle mooed and jumped and the horses neighed, asking
For cows in the pen!

On the same day, the boss called all over Brazil
Prepared a rodeo and invited all the cowboys
From that day on, peace returned to the
Farmer's house

For the dear bosses, Amado gives a 100 score, and for
Those who are bad, I don't give a penny!

I ask those who are farmers, those who don't like cowboys
Don't like anyone!

I ask those who are farmers, those who don't like cowboys
Don't like anyone!
