Rancho de Adobe
Mauro Silva
Adobe Ranch
In this wide corridor
Demarcated by the state
Ocalito, pasture, clay
Adobe ranch grass
The same wind that rocks
Marshes and rosemary
In front of the big ranch
Is the same that bothers me
I have a muddy pond
Bathed, caraguatás
Lonely bush grove
Hares and cavies
Low swallow nest
In a thicket of thorns
Constant tero patrol
And some armadillo burrow
My field is the corridor
A piece of a land grant
Here there are breeding cows
Without paying for grazing
Trail of whip tips
Loud saddle creak
Sheep with full mouths
And two-toothed lambs
Sheep with full mouths
And two-toothed lambs
Here begins my field
Where it ends, I don't know
This field that I grabbed
Has bushes, ponds, pitangas
Pairs of oxen in yokes
Petiço pulling water
Stocks, bitter, good fire
Umbu tree shading the house
Without paying any taxes
Without having a written deed
I keep pushing my days
In this half-water ranch
Beautiful and skilled Xirua
Who I share my heart with
Without having a written deed
Nor a priest to give blessings
My field is the corridor
A piece of a land grant
Here there are breeding cows
Without paying for grazing
Trail of whip tips
Loud saddle creak
Sheep with full mouths
And two-toothed lambs
My field is the corridor
A piece of a land grant
Here there are breeding cows
Without paying for grazing
Trail of whip tips
Loud saddle creak
Sheep with full mouths
And two-toothed lambs
Sheep with full mouths
And two-toothed lambs
