Mimoso

The back of my bull
Has a sky full of stars
Hot iron doesn’t touch
My bull is spoiled
My bull is pampered

Came from the laid-down tree
To put on a show
Brought a good storyteller
To float in Maranhão

It was still night
With rattles and big drums
Wide eyes all around
Above the battalion

Madam of the house
I’m a smoker too
But the joint I had
Fell in the water and got wet

And here goes spoiled
With all his fancy gear
But one day the house will fall
And it’s spoiled that will eat you

And here goes spoiled
With all his fancy gear
But one day the house will fall
And it’s spoiled that will eat you

Hey cattle! Fancy gear!
Hey, hey bull, hey, hey, bull
