Trancão de Livramento

I spent the month campaigning, cursing and pounding
Lassoing calves, fixing the fences
I even think about changing my life, settling down in the countryside
Finding a proper girl to stop being single
I heard about a big party, talk of a wild horse ride
An old-fashioned dance, a gathering of country folks
I forgot about resting and the tiredness of riding
I don't know if I should leave this life or if I can still bear it

At the country gatherings and rodeos, I'm eager to join in
In a lively dance, I'm eager to dance
And I'll pick a slim brunette who pleases me in the vaneira
And in a very border-like dance, I'll move smoothly without raising dust all night long

I heard that at the border they dance with swapped feet
And I need a shake that's not from the pounding
I'll leave the dun horse tied up outside
I'll enter the hall, spurring the floor
I don't care if they tell me to stop
I'll hold onto a brunette and no one will tear us apart
I'll lead with confidence because I'm a big shot at dancing
I'll spin to both sides, swaying in a lively dance
