De Freio e Pelego Na Mão
João Marcos Kelbouscas
With Brake and Saddle in Hand
I have gifts that time gave me
For being willing and having faith in life
I have a mare to show off in the brake
Star, Roan, with a Pangaré beak
I have the accordion that I carry in my arms
That accompanies me wherever I go
That when it cries and the bellows sigh
Its exchanged voice speaks who I am
That when it cries and the bellows sigh
Its exchanged voice speaks who I am
I'm a gaucho cowboy, just me and the road
I walk alone without company
From place to place, I take to the people
Something that I lack, called joy
From place to place, I take to the people
Something that I lack, called joy
I have health and some money saved
I'm poorly tamed but hardworking
I live happily, but missing by my side
A brunette to give me love
Time and destiny passed by
And forgot about my heart
I returned to the ranch without what I expected
And I was left with brake and saddle in hand
I returned to the ranch without what I expected
And I was left with brake and saddle in hand
And, when it rains, I deal with rope
I even bought a new preparation
A 12-strand braid, all complete
So, when I can, I go for a walk among the people
And this life that, for so many people
Is just a dream, for me, is reality
No one tells me what to do, I do what I want
Because I am married to freedom
No one tells me what to do, I do what I want
Because I am married to freedom
However, my friend, as much as I like it
And that this life still does me good
I confess to you that, next to the saddlebags
I miss the affection of someone
I confess to you that, next to the saddlebags
I miss the affection of someone
I have health and some money saved
I'm poorly tamed but hardworking
I live happily, but missing by my side
A brunette to give me love
Time and destiny passed by
And forgot about my heart
I returned to the ranch without what I expected
And I was left with brake and saddle in hand
I returned to the ranch without what I expected
And I was left with brake and saddle in hand
