Romance do Peão Posteiro

When I return to the houses at the end of the afternoon
I come whistling a gentle coplita
Half drunk from the hard work
But my heart sings with hope
I know that waiting for me by the window
Are two mischievous eyes fixed in the distance
It's the ranch owner who steps out the door
Into the rough arms of this cowboy from the estancia

It's a post ranch in the back of the field
My little world that I made myself
As if by magic, it becomes a palace
For the queen lady who makes me happy
This beautiful lady captured my destiny
I'm no longer a wanderer, see what she did
Looking at her belly, I know with anticipation
That soon in the ranch, we will be three

I'll expand the ranch because I'm prepared
I've already chosen the horse for the boy
He'll be my partner during mate time
There's no greater joy than this
Those who have what I have will understand
Why I sing happily galloping in the wind
Longing is a message for the beloved woman
That invades my chest, deep into my heart.
