Rosinha e Catimbau

I was reading in a romance about a couple of lovers
About Rosinha and Catimbau, two young lovers
Rosinha, from a wealthy family
Catimbau was a poor man, a foreman on a farm but an honest worker
He tamed wild donkeys, was respected for his lasso skills
A fearless countryman, admired by all

Catimbau found Rosinha up on the hill
Seeing the two alone, he wanted to take advantage of the situation
Catimbau asked for a kiss, Rosinha said no
She wanted to, but didn't show it
After much insistence, she made a decision
Let's leave it for another day
For the Saint John festivities

Five months passed, the awaited day arrived
Rosinha looked even more beautiful, like a flower
The party was lively, everyone in great joy
When Rosinha's father asked who wanted
To show skill with the lasso to catch the bull Ventania
The cowboys were frightened
They all hid

They called Catimbau, but he didn't respond
Rosinha said: my love, go make the request
Catimbau was brave, but at that moment he trembled
After a bitter smile, he replied to Rosinha:
I will lasso this bull to show you who I am
But then I want a kiss
That you promised me

Catimbau quickly mounted his horse
He spurred the stallion and prepared the lasso
The lasso was accurate, astonishing the people
Catimbau was unlucky, the horse got confused
The lasso looped around his neck
With the jerk the bull gave
His head was severed

They brought his head, Rosinha took it
Crying in despair, she said:
Catimbau, I promised you a kiss, now I give it to you
Sadly she kissed her beloved's lips
This is the end of a story, proving that this love
Rosinha and Catimbau...
Were separated by death
