Pra Bailar de Cola Atada
César Oliveira e Rogério Melo
To Dance with Tied Tail
I settle on the sidewalk, at a dance I smell the scent
I shake the dust off the hose, by the pond in the field
I soak the image of a country cowboy with Gaucho love
Because I know in my land, we can trust the accordion players
To dance with tied tail, I circle around the dark horse
And a pair of silver stars, I go pinching leather
I carry in my soul the hope of starting a courtship today
And a .38 for trust in case of any offense
I'll take the prettiest China to dance with tied tail
And if she doesn't know how to dance, I'll teach her for free
After I mount the horse, whatever God wants will be
Because I'm from the time when men still liked women
The accordion gives a moan, the dust rises
And I, already dusty, drag my foot in the dance
I whisper in the ear my secret to the lady
And boldly invite her to have a drink with Fanta
We lean on the counter and exchange some affection
With vows of eternal love, no one wants to die alone
Don't tempt me, brunette, you're a flower full of thorns
And I'm eager to drag you to my nest
