Boi Soberano

I remember and miss the passing time
The time of a cowboy that I lived traveling
I never had sadness, always lived singing
Month after month cutting roads on my roan horse
Always dealing with cattle, since the age of 15
I won't forget a transport, six hundred cattle from Cuiabá
In the middle there was a black bull named Sovereign

At the farewell, the farmer was saying
Beware of this bull, he's unruly in the pens
This bull is criminal, has caused me various damages
We rode through the roads always thinking about it
In the city of Barretos, as I was arriving
The herd broke loose, oh, all I could see was people shouting
It was really a tyranny, Sovereign was leading

In the city's commerce, the doors were closing
In the street there was a boy, surely playing
When he saw he was dying, he fainted in fright
Poor thing leaned in front of Sovereign
Sovereign stopped, oh, standing there snorting
Pushing back with his horn the passing cattle
At that moment, the child's father was coming from afar shouting

If this bull kills my son, I'll kill whoever is leading
And when he saw his son alive and the bull watching over him
He fell to his knees on the ground and prayed to God
Save my guardian angel from this tyrannical moment
When the herd passed, the bull withdrew
The father of this child came, bought Sovereign from me
This bull saved my son, no one kills Sovereign
