Boiadeiro Errante

I come from a distant place
I am a wandering cattleman
Who was born in that mountain

My horse runs faster than my thoughts
He comes at a slow pace
Because nobody waits for me

Playing the cattle, uê-uê-uê, ox
I'm going to cut the road, huh, ox

Playing the cattle, uê-uê-uê, ox
I'm going to take a shortcut

Play the horn with care, Zé Vicente
Show these people the clarion of the alterosas
Grab the noose, don't give up, mate
Call the country dog
That this cattle is dangerous

Look out the window, woo-woo-woo, ox
What a beautiful maiden, wow, ox

Look out the window, woo-woo-woo, ox
What a beautiful maiden

I'm a cattleman, my people, what's up?
Let my cattle pass
I will fulfill my destiny

There in the lowlands, I want to hear the seriema
To remember a little
That I left there in Minas

She's guilty, woo-woo-woo, ox
From me living on the roads, huh, ox

She's guilty, woo-woo-woo, ox
Of me living on the roads

The river is calm and the cattle are swimming
Look at that ox bellowing
Chico Bento, run there

Lace the half-breed, save him from the piranhas
Take the cattle out of the campaign
For the journey to continue

Heading to Goiás, uê-uê-uê, ox
I left Minas Gerais, wow, ox

Heading to Goiás, uê-uê-uê, ox
I left Minas Gerais, wow, ox
