Filho Pródigo

I had good beef cattle, I had good dairy cattle
I had a bay horse and an abundant barn
I was highly respected, I was a rodeo champion
And all around, they wanted to hear my advice
Because of a pair of eyes, light blue like the moonlight ai ai ai
I said, my father I'm leaving, I'm going to search
I can't stay without her
I walked side by side with death, wandering through this world
I who was a friend of luck became a companion of misfortune
Then I became a vagabond, pain and hunger arrived
I ate ragged and filthy the bread the devil kneaded
After many wanderings, I met her in a bar
Smiling and drinking with another in that place
I decided I was going to return
Along the way back, shame and loneliness
Not knowing if I would be welcomed by my parents and also my brothers
In the distance, I saw my house, my heart beat strongly
Tears flowed down my face wetting the dust on the ground
My father with his arms open said my son has returned ai ai ai
Three days three nights of celebration, the bell rang
Announcing that peace has returned
