Boiadeiro Errante
Sérgio Reis
Wandering Cowboy
I come coming
From a distant querencia
I'm a wandering cowboy
Who was born on that mountain
My horse runs faster
Than thought
He comes at a slow pace
Because no one waits for me
Driving the cattle
Auê-uê-uê-ê ox
I'm cutting the road
Uê ox
Driving the cattle
Auê-uê-uê-ê ox
I'm cutting the road
Play the bugle
With care, Zé Vicente
Show these people
The bugle of the highlands
Grab the lasso
Don't give up, buddy
Call the countryside dog
This herd is dangerous
Look out the window
Auê uê uê ê ox
What a beautiful maiden
Uê I'm going
Look out the window
Auê uê uê ê ox
What a beautiful maiden
I'm a cowboy
My people, what's up?
Let my cattle pass
I'll fulfill my fate
Down in the lowland
I want to hear the ciriema
To remember a little one
That I left in Minas
She's to blame
Auê uê uê ê ox
For me living on the roads
Uê ox
She's to blame
Auê uê uê ê ox
For me living on the roads
The river is calm
And the cattle is swimming
Look at that ox bellowing
Chico Bento runs there
Lasso the mestizo
Save him from the piranhas
Take the cattle from the campaign
For the journey to continue
Heading to Goiás
Auê uê uê ê ox
I left Minas Gerais
Uê I'm going
Heading to Goiás
Auê uê uê ê ox
I left Minas Gerais
Uê ox
