Cabocla Tereza (feat. Fagner)

Up on the top of the mountain
In a very strange house
All made of thatch
I stopped my horse one night
Because of two knocks
I heard inside
I dismounted very gently
I heard a perfect moan
A voice full of pain
You, Teresa, rest
I swore to seek revenge
Because of my love
Through the crack of the window
By a little yellow light
From a lantern almost fading
I saw a cabocla on the floor
And a man had in his hand
A gun illuminating
I turned my horse at a gallop
I spurred and whipped
I bled the flank of that man
I descended the mountain
And galloping that male
I went to call your doctor
Let's go back to the mountain
In that strange little house
Me and your doctor
I met a scared man
Who called us to the side
And told his story

A while ago I made a little ranch
For my cabocla to live
Because that was our nest
Far from this place

Up there on the mountain
Near the moonlight
I lived a happy year
Without ever expecting that

And a long time passed
Thinking of being so happy
But Teresa, doctor
Did not want happiness

I put my dream in this look
I paid dearly for my love
Because of another caboclo
She abandoned my ranch

I felt my blood boil
I swore to kill Teresa
I saddled my bay
And went to look for her

Now I have avenged
This is the end of a love
I killed this cabocla
This is my story, doctor
