Rosinha e Catimbau

I was reading in a novel
From a couple of boyfriends
From Rosinha and Catimbau
Two young people in love
Rosinha, rich family
Catimbau was a poor guy
Foreman of a farm
But an honest worker
I loved wild donkeys
In the bond he was respected
A fearless country boy
Oh, he was admired by everyone, oh

Catimbau found a little rose
Up there on the ridge
For seeing the two of them alone
I wanted to take advantage of the occasion
Catimbau asked for a kiss
Rosinha said no, oh
She really wanted to
But he didn't give a demonstration
He insisted so much
She made a decision
Let's leave it for another day
Oh, for the Saint John's festivities, oh

These five months have passed
The long-awaited day has arrived
Rosinha was more beautiful
As a flower looked
The party was lively
All with great joy
When Rosa's father came
Asking who wanted
Show science on the loop
To lasso the ox Ventania
And the frightened cowboys
Oh, they all hid, oh

They then called it Catimbau
But he didn't answer
Rosinha said: My dear
Go make my order
Catimbau is brave
But at that moment he trembled, oh
After a bitter smile
For Rosinha replied
I'm going to lasso that bull
To show you who I am
But then I want a kiss
Oh, what you promised me, oh

Catimbau more than quickly
In his bragado he piled up
The spur has arrived on the male
And he made the loop
The loop was accurate
That the people were amazed, oh
Catimbau was unhappy
The bragado got confused
The loop made a turn
Around your neck it wrapped
With the pealo that the ox gave
His head was cut off, oh

They brought his head
Rosinha got it
Crying desperately
This way she spoke
Catimbau I promised a kiss
Receive now I give you, oh
In the mouth of your beloved
Sadly she kissed
This is the end of a story
Proving that he loved
Rosinha and Catimbau
Oh, that death separated, oh
