Boi de Carro

I went to get a carriage bull that was in prison
To take to the slaughterhouse at the boss's request
When I threw the lasso, the animal looked at me
And what he told me was heart-wrenching
When I threw the lasso, the animal looked at me
And what he told me was heart-wrenching

The buyer told me that my fate is sad
I don't know why my boss sold me
I helped so many people, I was a slave in the fields
After old and tired, no one thanked me
I helped so many people, I was a slave in the fields
After old and tired, no one thanked me

Next to the bull Vabor, my first partner
Only pulled the full cart obeying the carter
At the creek crossing, I knelt in the mud
Either unstuck the cart or broke the yoke
At the creek crossing, I knelt in the mud
Either unstuck the cart or broke the yoke

Those who worked with me beat me for no reason
Cut my whole body with the leather whip
Instead of setting me free to die in the pen
My blood will be shed on the slaughterhouse boards
Instead of setting me free to die in the pen
My blood will be shed on the slaughterhouse boards
