Nunca Namore Um Cowboy

Sunday has passed, it's already one in the morning
The rodeo is over, it's time to gather the gear
We have little time to sleep, a lot of ground to cover
But today I found a ride and I'll manage to close my eyes and rest
So let's go, let's head down, towards Colorado, Paraná
Oh, Paraná, old land of war, where I found a tough woman to fall in love with
But there's a detail: The bulls there are fierce and hard to ride
But we are country folks and country folks don't run away
God willing, we'll win, come back with a few extra dollars in our pockets
With a wet smile on our faces, happy because we won the rodeo
And crying because once again we have to leave our beloved

My life is on the road, I live far from home
And I don't even know when I'll be back
Every week, a city, every day, more longing
I only see her photo on my cell phone

When I get signal, I'll send a message
Next week we'll ease the longing
Because there will be a party in the region
Where the owner of my heart lives

Hey-iê, hey-iê
The cowboy's fate is lonely
Hey-iê, hey-iê
Far from home, my heart aches
Hey-iê, hey-iê
The cowboy's fate is lonely
Hey-iê, hey-iê
Far from home, my heart aches

I'm counting the days to arrive in the village
And, my dear, to be able to date you
I caught a ride on a freighter, I already told them to hurry
That my love no longer wants to wait

But, arriving in the city, I had a surprise
There was only a letter on the table
Leaving a goodbye and a painful advice
Never date a cowboy

Hey-iê, hey-iê
The cowboy's fate is lonely
Hey-iê, hey-iê
Far from home, my heart aches
Hey-iê, hey-iê
The cowboy's fate is lonely
Hey-iê, hey-iê
Far from home, my heart aches

I left that village anguished, with tears in my eyes
But with a peaceful heart, because I did everything for my beloved
But I always say: Our dreams should not be played with
Since I was young, rodeo is my passion, I was born to ride
I'm heading to the next city, the next party, the next rodeo
And there I'll be carefree
And, if there's time, I'll find someone to date
That's the life of a cowboy, aimless, without destination, without stop
And if you look closely, that letter wasn't so wrong
Because love can be great, but longing will always be tough
So my advice is this: Never date a cowboy
But sometimes let him give you a girlfriend

Hey-iê, hey-iê
The cowboy's fate is lonely
Hey-iê, hey-iê
Far from home, my heart aches
Hey-iê, hey-iê
The cowboy's fate is lonely
Hey-iê, hey-iê
Far from home, my heart aches
