Queixo Duro

I will tell you about a gathering
In the old Long Rincão
It's not the Bailanta Tibúrcio
But it's a fact that happened
Beautiful ladies, widows ignited
Wanting to find a husband

I paid the entrance fee, I entered
I looked around the room
I saw the beauty I wanted
Next to an Indian in a poncho
I thought: I never lost in the race
To a chicken like you

And the accordion player, very experienced, said to me:
Can you sing a bit?
That's what I wanted
I didn't hesitate
You can play a vanera
Dancing with the feet swapped

I was born with a hard chin, no one breaks my spirit
I really like a gathering that is danced in the dark
In the sole of the boot, a hole from dragging the foot so much
Never sing Galizé in a pure rooster's yard

I don't like it! He said
A wild bull is tamed
The rattlesnake hits the rattle
The Pelincho sways
The lizard has no eyelids
The fox doesn't have eyebrows

And it doesn't blink either

And he came swaying
Snorting and stomping
A machete marks an ant
A poncho around the arm
It looked more like a lightning bolt
In the night, cutting through space

There, at most, I shouted:
Get ready, boy lackey
The cat, being quick
Jumps off the back and sidesteps
And whoever wants Guabiju
Let them come shake the branch

We started clashing iron
Like a bull in a bare field
I come from the missions
In the world, I was not tamed
I smashed a yoke
On the bastard's ribs

And he swayed away

And from there, I left snorting
Like a Jaguané bull
The gentle cow gives milk
The wild one gives when she wants
The handle of the dagger is mine
And the blade, for whoever wants

I was born with a hard chin, no one breaks my spirit
I really like a gathering that is danced in the dark
In the sole of the boot, a hole from dragging the foot so much
Never sing Galizé in a pure rooster's yard

And the beautiful lady, alive?
I mounted her on my Zaino
I felt the warmth of her body
And I went galloping
Next to the beauty, my love
To that flowery garden
Where the Hummingbird sits
