Shot

Prepare your heart
For the things I'm going to tell
I come from the backlands
I come from the backlands
I come from the backlands
And I may not please you

I learned to say no
See death without crying
And death, fate, everything
Death, destiny, everything
It was out of place
I live to fix

In the herd I was once a bull
But one day I got together
Not for my own reason
Or whoever was with me

And that any want had
But out of necessity
From the owner of a herd
Whose cowboy died

Cowboy for a long time
Firm bow and strong arm
Lots of cattle, lots of people
For life I held
Followed like in a dream
And the cowboy was a king

But the world was spinning
On my horse's feet
And in the dreams that I was dreaming
The visions clearing
The visions clearing
Until one day I woke up

So I couldn't follow
Brave instead lieutenant
And owner of cattle and people
Because cattle we mark
Tange, fuck, get fat and kill
But with us it's different

If you don't agree
I can't apologize
I don't sing to deceive
I'm going to get my guitar
I will leave you aside
I'll sing somewhere else

In the herd I was once a bull
Boiadeiro, I was once king
Not for me or anyone else
That together with me there would be

If you wanted or could
For anything of yours
For anything of yours
Wanting to go further than me

But the world was spinning
On my horse's feet
And since one day I rode
Now I'm a knight
Firm bow and strong arm
In a kingdom that has no king

La laiá lara laiá
La laiá lara laiá
La laiá lara laiá
La laiá lara laiá
