Chico Mineiro

Every time I remember my friend Chico Mineiro
From the trips I took
He was my companion
I feel sad, I want to cry
I remember those times that will never come back

Even though I'm the boss
I had my friend Chico Mineiro in my heart
Good decided caboclo
On the guitar he was painful and he was the cowboy's pawn

Today, however, with sadness
Remembering the exploits of our travels and mutiny
Let's travel more than ten years
Selling cattle and buying
Through this endless corner

Caboclo feared nothing
But however, a day came
That Chico left me

We took the last trip
Went there to the backlands of Goiás
It was me and Chico Mineiro
He was also the foreman

We traveled many days
To get to Ouro Fino
Where do we spend the night
At a feast of the Divine

The party was so good
But I hadn't gone before
Chico was shot
By an unknown man

I stopped buying cattle
They killed my companion
The sound of the viola is over
Chico Mineiro is over

After that tragedy
I got more bored
I didn't know about our friendship
Because we were united

When I saw your document
It cut my heart
I heard that Chico Mineiro
He was my legitimate brother
