Roubei a Fazendeira

I was captivated by a beautiful gaucho
That makes my heart beat
She's truly beautiful
Since the moment I saw this gaucho
There's a bond that pulls me, I almost die of longing
It was at a party, I went to talk to her
She was enchantingly beautiful, I liked this gaucho
It was at that moment that I made the attempt
I left her pensive and I won her love

One day she wrote to me
And in the letter she explained all her great pain
There was a fence that separated us
That her father didn't agree with our great love
At that moment, I wrote the response
I sent along a proposal
I'll show my qualities
Because this fence that one day I'll tear down
And I'll bring you to the ranch for us to be happy

Early in the morning, it was on a Sunday
I mounted my horse and went for a ride on the farm
In a few hours, I arrived at her house
I looked at the window, my sweetheart was beautiful
I called from outside, and the old man with a stern face said
Young man, dismount and take the horse to the shed
There on the hook you can hang the saddle
And let's go to the living room to have some mate

And in conversation with the old man, I spoke
I introduced myself as a singer and guitarist
Word for word he replied
At the moment, my daughter for marriage
Only marries a farmer
This response hurt me to the core
But I didn't lose my composure, though my voice trembled
He said to me: Nearby lives a neighbor
I'll send for a guitar for you to sing for us

The guitar arrived and I tuned it
And greeted everyone in the house, only with thoughtful verses
And skillfully played the guitar
And the old man thought it was good, winked at the old lady
On leaving, the old man didn't suspect anything
When it was dawn, I stole his daughter
We live well in this married life
I'm the most esteemed son-in-law in the whole family
We live well in this married life
I'm the most esteemed son-in-law in the whole family
