Changueiro de Vida e Lida
Luiz Marenco
Life and Work Changueiro
When the bells run out
Where will I go, where will I go?
Maybe changuear to gather a few more coins
That I always spend faster than I earned
I'll take care of my old poncho
Faithful partner, faithful partner
João Maria warned me from the village
Count on me to help with a saladero
And so it will be, because that's how a cowboy's life will be
Changueando the work life without seeking reason
I'm not interested in other ways if it's not like this
And it will live
Because living as a changueiro is all he learned
He knows that prayers are worthless for those who are atheists
Nor catechisms for those who have no faith
When the bells run out
Where will I go, where will I go?
Maybe changuear to gather a few more coins
That I always spend faster than I earned
I'll take care of my old poncho
Faithful partner, faithful partner
João Maria warned me from the village
Count on me to help with a saladero
I'll wake up early
Stop by the store, fill the saddlebags and leave
Happy gallop towards the ranch to make smile
My woman and the kids waiting
And I'll stay
Two or three days to finally kill this longing
Gather the claws and leave, because it has to be like this
My ranch is the world and the roads if I was born a cowboy
When the bells run out
Where will I go, where will I go?
Maybe changuear to gather a few more coins
That I always spend faster than I earned
I'll take care of my old poncho
Faithful partner, faithful partner
João Maria warned me from the village
Count on me to help with a saladero
So I'll go, once again, horse trotting down the corridor
To tread on my own trail always as a champion
And new dawns that illuminate the land where I came from
And I'll sing, my alert song
Earth and fire changueador as well
With the certainty that in life nothing and no one
Will tame the wild colt that kicks in me
