Rei do Gado
Tião Carreiro e Pardinho
King Of The Cattle
In a pub in Ribeirão Preto
I see myself this event
When champagne was waste
In the middle-age of luxury
Then arrived a cowboy
Bringing the dust of travel on his forehead
To the waiter he asked for a rum
So to drop the cold
Got up a dandy guy who said to the owner
I suspect
When a clueless hick
Set foot in a place like this one
You, who is the owner
Must prevent anyone of entering
And especially on this occasion
When the King of Coffee is present
There was a round of applause
They shouted to the farmer
Who has billions of coffee trees
Around this Brazilian ground
His harvest is gigantic
In our market and in the exterior
So perceive that this place
Isn't for any vulgar one
In a very polite way
The cowboy said to the group of men
This wealth doesn't scare me
I bet anything
In each of these coffee trees
I tie an ox from my cattle
And to end the matter I guarantee
That I still have a herd
There was a deep silence
The cowboy let the people astonished
Paying the rum with a thousand cruzeiros
Said to the waiter to save the change
Anyone who want my address
Don't be shy
Just get there in Andradina
And ask for the King of Cattle
