Paroles et traduction João Luiz Corrêa - Um Bagual Corcoveador (Live)

Um Bagual Corcoveador (Live)

A tropa vinha estendida pastando no corredor
Eu empurrava culatra e também fazia fiador
Num bagual gordo e delgado arisco e corcoveador
Que se assustava da estaca e da sombra do maneador
É brabo a vida de um taura que só trabalha de peão
Nisso uma lebre dispara debaixo de um macegão
Meu pingo só deu um coice escondendo a cara nas mãos
Saiu sacudindo o toso e cravou o focinho no chão
Tentei levantar no freio mas era tarde demais
Eu vi uma poeira fina formando nuvens pra trás
Berrando se foi a cerca e cruzou pro lado de lá
Parecia uma tormenta cruzando em massambará)
Se enganchava nas esporas sobre a volta do pescoço
Cortando couro em pêlo e tirando lascas de osso
Naquele inferno danado bombiei pra meu cebolão
Regulava quatro e pico numa tarde de verão
Senti a força do vento me arrancando dos arreios
E aquele bicho parecia que ia se rasgar no meio
Deixei manso e de confiança montaria de patrão
Pois honro o nome que carrego me orgulho de ser peão

A Bucking Bagual (Live)

The herd was spread out, grazing in the corridor
I was pushing the bolt-action rifle and also acting as a guarantor
On a fat and slender bagual, skittish and bucking
That was frightened by the stake and the shadow of the handler
It's tough, the life of a gaucho who only works as a peon
Just then, a hare shoots out from under a clump of bushes
My horse just gave a kick, hiding its face in its hands
It took off, shaking its mane, and stuck its snout in the ground
I tried to get up on the reins, but it was too late
I saw a fine dust forming clouds behind
Bellowing, it went over the fence and crossed to the other side
It looked like a storm crossing the grasslands)
It hooked onto the spurs on the back of its neck
Cutting leather to the bone and taking off slivers of bone
In that damned inferno, I pumped towards my big onion
It was regulating four and a bit on a summer afternoon
I felt the force of the wind ripping me from the saddle
And that animal seemed like it was going to tear itself in half
I left it tame and trustworthy, a boss's mount
Because I honor the name I carry, I'm proud to be a peon
