Baile da Encruzilhada

Crossroads Dance

I was invited to a dance at the crossroads' Chico's
I dropped my pure black horse with a trotting march
I'm used to it, I fire two shots upon arrival
I dismount, tie the black one, and pay my entrance fee

I entered the dance hall and saw a beautiful brunette
She was smiling with lips the color of lilies
I heard her saying to another girl
This gaucho is brave and I like his style

In a corner was the accordion player starting to play
I looked at the little brunette and she came to invite me
Someone got upset and started talking
This is an insult and I don't usually tolerate it

I heard a clang like a blacksmith's hammer
The homeowner shouted who shot the lamp
If you want to fight in the dark, go out to the yard
I don't want troublemakers' revelry inside the house

I left through the darkness with the brunette by my side
It rained knives from every direction
I pulled out my dagger, the smell of burnt horn filled the air
We went on like this until we reached where the black one was tied

I jumped off the horse with the brunette in my arms
I pulled out my Schimitar and started shooting
We galloped to the Three Steps farm
I am determined and find nothing difficult
