A Vida Que O Véio Mandô
Tchê Garotos
The Life That The Old Man Sent
I came into the world to be like this
Working day and night I bring
This life of taming and marking
Of taking care and speaking with the cattle
I wear a wide-brimmed hat
Against the rain and the blazing sun
This is my destiny
Hard work I do not refuse
I'm living the life that the old man sent
I'm following the path he traced
And showed me
I'm living the life that the old man sent
I'm following the path he traced
And showed me
The rigor of time doesn't bend me
The strong pull of the lasso doesn't cut me
I grew up without knowing a doctor
If I don't know, just show me and I'll do it
With the dust rising on the road
A prayer goes to the boss of the sky
Who won't leave me stranded
Will guide my journey
