Pronto, Preparado e Querendo

“Pronto, Preparado e Querendo” by Ramon e Randinho is a vibrant celebration of the vaquejada, a traditional Brazilian rodeo event. The song captures the essence of this cultural festivity, blending the excitement of the sport with the lively atmosphere of a party. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a bustling scene where trucks, cachaça (a Brazilian spirit), and loud music set the stage for an exhilarating experience. The mention of “mulher forró boi no chão” highlights the presence of women and the traditional forró music, adding to the festive ambiance.

The song also delves into the preparation and anticipation that come with the vaquejada. The lines “Curral prepara a boiada” and “Prepara vaqueiro pra da tombo no boi” emphasize the meticulous planning and skill required for the event. The vaqueiros (cowboys) are depicted as ready and eager, showcasing their expertise in controlling and guiding the cattle. This readiness is further underscored by the repeated refrain, “Porque eu tô pronto, prepara e querendo,” which translates to “Because I’m ready, prepared, and wanting.” It reflects the participants' enthusiasm and determination to make the most of the event.

The song also highlights the social aspect of the vaquejada, where camaraderie and enjoyment are paramount. The imagery of “Um litro de dreher e as gatas bebendo” and “Farra de vaquejada é a melhor que tá tendo” portrays a scene of revelry and shared joy. The vaquejada is not just a sport but a communal celebration where people come together to enjoy music, dance, and drinks. This sense of community and shared excitement is a central theme of the song, making it a lively anthem for those who cherish this traditional Brazilian event.
