Cantiga do Boi Encantado

Song of the Enchanted Ox

Oh enchanted ox and aruá
Oh ox, who will catch
In my life as a wandering cowboy
I no longer keep track of the dangers I faced
Since from the nation of cattle that exist in the world
There's not a single ox that I haven't caught

Oh enchanted ox and aruá
Oh ox, who will catch
I came from far away, beyond that mountain
That lies where the eyes can't reach
Recommended by the cowboys of my land
To represent us in those lands
When we arrived, me and the wind
The most famous horse in the place
My chestnut king of the open field and the big bush
Make sure you don't forget the promise we made
In that piece of land with lasso and fence
In the light of the afternoon, her eyes and my singing
The most beautiful from Brumado to the big plain
We swore to her we would catch the aruá ox

Oh enchanted ox and aruá
Oh ox, who will catch
From Indubrasil, Nerol' Xuite, Guadimá
Moura Junquêro painted with clouds and white
Junquêro chalk, dark stone, landreis and malabá
Orange painted, striped, lubião
Bull with banana, armed horn
From the corral to the big and strong
Of all the oxen I've caught in the world
Except for him who has a part with the dog
The ox that snorts, with him I've never fought
And the enchanted one that we distinguish to catch
To take to the lands of that lady
We swore to her we would take the aruá ox

Oh enchanted ox and aruá
Oh ox, who will catch
