Vingança Do Chico Mineiro
Tonico e Tinoco
Chico Mineiro's Revenge
With my guitar, I tried to ease the pain of what happened
The guitar just moaned, like it was saying Chico Mineiro is dead
When I saw a herd kicking up dust on the road and the shout of the cowboys
I cried out of sadness, it felt like a shout for Chico Mineiro
I was downcast, couldn't sleep at night, always sad and sobbing
The deep pain inside me was eating away, I decided to get revenge
I grabbed the thirty, tucked in my belt, the dagger sharp, and set out with a purpose
To find the tough guy who killed my brother in the backlands of Ouro Fino
I ran into that bastard, a mean-looking dude, and I challenged him right then
He came at me, and with the sharp dagger, I plunged it into his chest
I left him lying there, in his final gasp, I asked God for forgiveness
I did this out of revenge, crying over the sad memory of my brother's death
