O Vaqueiro

It's dawn and my fate is cast
My buddy is coming
The full moon illuminates the slope
Shining with the lantern to help as well

And in this dark time, by the riverbank
The wind is sharp, I won't falter
Because my cattle, it's my work, and because it's my life
I have to lead

I'm a cowboy, with a quick lasso, with a lasso that catches
Precise, guiding the ox (repeat)

The water's turbulence murmured
Apparitions, tales that I witnessed
In the footsteps, the challenges don't compare
To the ones I've faced

In the great flood, fast and treacherous
I lost a lot, saw my world taken by water
I built a corral for my cattle
My faith works miracles, you can believe

I'm a cowboy, with a quick lasso, with a lasso that catches
Precise, guiding the ox (repeat)

Even in dark weather, I advance with my cattle
Life is tough
But courage is in my caboclo blood

The new pasture emerged, I go with the cattle and don't tire
It's my livelihood, don't be afraid
Sing the cowboy's song

Ox ox ox

The month of June arrived, longing tightened
For the beautiful brunette who awaits me
To play in the guaranteed
As a cowboy I go, I go...
