Lyrics and translation As Galvao - Chico Mineiro

Chico Mineiro

Cada vez que me "alembro"
Do amigo Chico Mineiro,
Das viage que nois fazia
Era ele meu companheiro.
Sinto uma tristeza,
Uma vontade de chorar,
Alembrando daqueles tempos
Que não hai mais de voltar.
Apesar de ser patrão,
Eu tinha no coração
O amigo Chico Mineiro,
Caboclo bom decidido,
Na viola era delorido e era o peão dos boiadeiro.
Hoje porém com tristeza
Recordando das proeza
Da nossa viage motin,
Viajemo mais de dez anos,
Vendendo boiada e comprando,
Por esse rincão sem-fim
Caboco de nada temia.
Mas porém, chegou o dia
Que Chico apartou-se de mim.
Fizemo a urtima viage
Foi lá pro sertão de Goiai.
Fui eu e o Chico Mineiro
Também foi um capatai.
Viajemo muitos dia
Pra chega em Ouro Fino
Aonde noi passemo a noite
Numa festa do Divino.
A festa tava tão boa
Mas ante não tivesse ido
O Chico foi baleado
Por um home desconhecido.
Larguei de compra boiada.
Mataram meu cumpanheiro.
Acabou o som da viola,
Acabou seu Chico Mineiro.
Despoi daquela tragédia
Fiquei mais aborecido.
Não sabia da nossa amizade.
Porque nós dois era unido.
Quando vi seu documento
Me cortou meu coração
Vim sabê que o Chico Mineiro
Era meu ligítimo irmão
(ENGLISH VERSION)
Each time I "alembro"
Friend's Chico Mineiro,
The journey that was nois
He was my partner.
I feel a sadness,
A desire to cry,
Alembrando those times
Hai more than to return.
Despite being boss,
I had the heart
The friend Chico Mineiro,
Caboclo good decision,
Was in breach delorido and was the pawn of the cowboy.
Today however with sadness
Recalling the feat
Motin of our journey,
Viajemo over ten years,
Boiada selling and buying,
By that corner without-end
Caboco was afraid of nothing.
But however, came the day
That Chico separate from me.
We did the urtima youre traveling
It was there pro backlands of Goiai.
I did and the Chico Mineiro
Was also a capatai.
Viajemo many days
It arrives in Ouro Fino
Where noi passemo the night
A celebration of the Divine.
The party was so good
But had not gone before
Chico was the shot
By an unknown home.
Dropped boiada purchase.
They killed my cumpanheiro.
Just the sound of the viola,
Just your Chico Mineiro.
Despois that tragedy
I was more aborecido.
I did not know of our friendship.
Because we both were united.
When I saw your paper
I cut my heart
I know that Chico Mineiro
Ligítimo was my brother

Chico Mineiro

Each time I "remember"
Friend Chico Mineiro,
The travels that we took
He was my partner.
I feel a sadness,
A desire to cry,
Remembering those times
That are gone forever.
Despite being the boss,
I had in my heart
The friend Chico Mineiro,
A good and determined man,
A gifted musician and a skilled cowboy.
Today, however, with sadness
I recall the feats
Of our many journeys,
We traveled for more than ten years,
Selling and buying cattle,
Throughout this endless land
A man who feared nothing.
But then, the day came
When Chico parted ways with me.
We made our last journey
To the sertão of Goiás.
It was me and Chico Mineiro
And a foreman.
We traveled for many days
To reach Ouro Fino
Where we spent the night
At a festival of the Divine.
The festival was in full swing
But it would have been better if we hadn't gone
Chico was shot
By a stranger.
I gave up buying cattle.
My companion was killed.
The sound of the viola is gone,
Your Chico Mineiro is gone.
After that tragedy
I became even more dejected.
I didn't know about our friendship.
Because we were both united.
When I saw your documents
My heart sank
I learned that Chico Mineiro
Was my legitimate brother
