A Moça do Carro de Boi

Old carter when he stopped carting
For his daughter he handed over the command
And those oxen got used to the girl
So much so that he never got stuck

He could be in the most dangerous mud
Just one signal from her was enough
To hear the groaning of the axle in the mud
And the oxen pulling the cart out of the terrible swamp

Only the girl, the herd obeyed
Without her shout, the old cart wouldn't move
Only the girl, the herd obeyed
Without her shout, the old cart wouldn't move

One day the girl fell ill and those oxen
Didn't want to obey another carter
It was necessary for her to come to the window
And give orders for the herd to walk

Until one day without hearing the girl's voice
They pulled the cart slowly along the road
Because they carried her body in the coffin
Like a cherished flower to her final resting place

This mystery no one knows if it wasn't
The voice of the girl from beyond touching the oxen
This mystery no one knows if it wasn't
The voice of the girl from beyond touching the oxen

From that day everything changed
So much sadness took over the place
The old cart that was hers fell silent
And the herd never wanted to cart again

Out of feelings for losing the companion
They were dying one by one in the pens
Who are we to understand such pain
How can so much love fit in the hearts of animals

This mystery no one knows if it wasn't
The voice of the girl from beyond calling the oxen
This mystery no one knows if it wasn't
The voice of the girl from beyond calling the oxen
This mystery no one knows if it wasn't
The voice of the girl from beyond calling the oxen
