Pé da Letra
Milionário e José Rico
To the Letter
I traveled at dawn, in my beast Sheath
I went to a cowboy party at Lagoinha Farm
Close to Porto Alegre, I arrived there in the late afternoon
Farmer Zé Valente, family of my people
I released the mule into the pasture, after giving it a once over
I walked around the room, let out my steel chest
I saw a dark-skinned gaucho, I wrote a verse in embarrassment
When I played the guitar, it fell from my arm
I spoke about marriage, he answered me coldly
I won't marry a guitarist, I have a lot of wealth
I am the queen of cattle, I am rich by nature
I just liked your guitar, sorry for my frankness
I answered literally, I'm from Minas Gerais
I have mining and diamonds, I am a big industrialist
I own a lot of land, I raise cattle in Goiás
I buy your farm, and all your credentials
The people clapped, that's right, boy
She asked my name, I just gave the initials
She hugged me crying, introducing her parents
The marriage term, guitarist, is up to you
