Casando Fugido

I have my purebred horse
Which is a trophy
There in my retreat
To tell the truth
In any city
He faces gunfire

When I raise my arm
He quickens his pace
And lets out a sigh
My horse is already in history
Has so many victories
That even I am amazed

In the city of Campinas
There's a girl
Said she loves me
I went to ask for her hand
The old man insisted
Almost caught us

The girl very cheerful
Without making a fuss
Threw herself on the bed
She assured my friend
To elope with me
On the famous horse

On the appointed day
I left armed
To meet her
But as the building was low
I leaned the gun
On her window

I almost fell in shock
When I saw the bust
Of the beautiful maiden
It came to my mind
It was the wedding
In any Chapel

We set off on the road
Already at dawn
On the chestnut horse
Her father was a tough guy
That even scared
The Bahian

I trusted the thirty
I had on my belt
With a palm-length barrel
Thirty bullets in the holster
Two palm lengths of knife
That caused harm

Long before we got married
I let the horse loose
In the pasture
When we returned from the Church
I ordered beer
From Basto's store

Then came the Bahian
Who came huffing
On our trail
He confessed in my ear
Eloping wedding
Is less costly
