Pra Bailar de Cola Atada

I settle on the sidewalk
If I smell a dance
I shake the dust off the hose
There at the pond in the field

I soak in gaucho love
The image of a country cowboy
Because I know that in my land
You can trust the accordion players

To dance with tied tails
I round the horse
And a pair of silver spurs
I go pinching the leather

I carry in my soul the hope
That today I'll start a courtship
And a thirty-eight for trust
In case of any offense
And a thirty-eight for trust
In case of any offense

I'll take the prettiest girl
To dance with tied tails
And if she doesn't know how to dance
I'll teach her and won't charge anything
After I mount the horse
Whatever God wants
Because I'm from the time when men
Still liked women (2x)

The accordion gives a moan
The porvadeira rises
And me already with a worn-out hat
I drag my foot in the dance

I whisper in her ear
My secrets to the lady
And very gallantly I invite
To have a drink with Fanta

We lean on the counter
And there we exchange some caresses
With vows of eternal love
No one wants to die alone

Don't tempt me, brunette
Because you're a flower full of thorns
And I'm eager
To drag you to my nest
And I'm eager
To drag you to my nest

I'll take the prettiest girl
To dance with tied tails
And if she doesn't know how to dance
I'll teach her and won't charge anything
After I mount the horse
Whatever God wants
Because I'm from the time when men
Still liked women (2x)
