Vida de Vaqueiro

When the Sun's light is breaking
Behind the mountains over the sierra
I open the door and smell the earth
In the backyard coop, the rooster crows

I saddle the horse
And after having my coffee
With care, love, and much faith
I go on with my cattleman life

I'm a cowboy and live in love
For forró, rodeo, and woman
I'm a cowboy and live in love
For forró, rodeo, and woman

I'm a forró lover, Geraldinho is a handful
For forró, rodeo, and woman
I'm a cowboy and live in love
For forró, rodeo, and woman

What I see as beautiful in the backlands
Is the cattle grazing on the hill
And the smile on the girl's face
The secret that lies in her heart

My forró and the Saint John's parties
Saint Anthony
Saint Peter
And Saint Joseph
My vice, you know what it is
Forgive me if this is a sin
