Vaqueiro Velho

Forrozão Sela Rasgada - Old cowboy

Old leather hat cowboy
From the skin "scorched" from the summer sun
Silver harness gold spur
Friends of cattle and hero of the backlands
Your sad aboio leads the herd
Along the new Capueirau road
In the sound of the horn in the smell of the branches
Bring the "calf" and lock it in the corral

Hey cowboy tells his whole life how it was
Years pass and courage ends
Your clothes still smell like beef
Hey cowboy tells his whole life how it was
Years pass and courage ends
Your clothes still smell like beef

Sit on the doorstep of the old hut
See the ancient and dark umburana
Your "dry galls" bring us longing
The smell of the forest that the wind brought
From the palm plantation in front of the waterfall
All that's left is the "stub" of a mandacaru
In the corner of the fence at the tip of the stake
A zebu cow horn

Hey cowboy tells his whole life how it was
Years pass and courage ends
Your clothes still smell like beef
Hey cowboy tells his whole life how it was
Years pass and courage ends
Your clothes still smell like beef
