Vingança Do Chico Mineiro
Tonico e Tinoco
Chico Mineiro's Revenge
On the guitar I played to see if it would console me from what happened to me
The guitar only moaned, it seemed to say Chico Mineiro died
When I saw a herd raising dust on the road and the cowboy's shout
Out of sadness, I even cried, it represented me, Chico Mineiro's shout
I lived in sorrow, at night I couldn't even sleep, always sad, sobbing
From the great pain I felt, it gnawed at me inside, I decided to take revenge
I took the thirty loaded in the belt, the sharp dagger, and went with the purpose
To meet the bully who killed my brother in the Ouro Fino backcountry
I faced that villain, a tough guy, at that moment I challenged him
He came towards me, I with the sharp dagger, I stabbed him in his chest
I left him lying there, in his last gasp, I asked God for forgiveness
I did this for revenge, crying over the sad memory of my brother's death
