Vida de Vaqueiro

When the Sun's light is breaking
Behind the mountains over the sierra
I open the door and smell the earth
From the chicken coop in the backyard the rooster sings

I put the saddle on the horse's back
And after having my coffee
With care, love, and much faith
I go on with my cattleman life

I'm a cowboy, and I live in love
For forró, rodeo, and woman!
I'm a cowboy, and I live in love
For forró, rodeo, and woman!

What I see as beautiful in the backlands
Is the cattle grazing on the hill
The smile on the girl's face
And the secret in her heart

My forró and the Saint John's parties
Saint Anthony, Saint Peter, and Saint Joseph
You already know what my vice is
Forgive me if this is a sin

I'm a cowboy and live in love
For forró, rodeo, and woman!
I'm a cowboy, and I live in love
For forró, rodeo, and woman!
