Paroles et traduction Quarteto Coração de Potro - Benzido

Benzido

No meu tostado ruano
Costa abaixo rumo ao plano
Correndo com o laço armado

Rodamos e o boi se foi
E o que me restou depois
Foi sarar deste pé quebrado

Eu te confesso chinita
Que em muitas manhãs bonitas
Eu estive amargurado

Quando ouvia do ranchito
Latidos touros e gritos
De algum rodeio parado

Logo que o galo cantava
Eu por costume saltava
Com as mágoas daquele azar

Sem poder calçar as botas
E o boi brazino nas grotas
Porque eu não pude atacar

Foram dias no ranchinho
Com tuas mãos de carinho
E as orações que aprendeu

Que este paysano sarando
Cruzou as tardes mateando
E até da dor se esqueceu

Quando a cuia me alcançava
Certas coisas te contava
Dos tempos de antes de nós

Com silêncios e ternuras
Renovastes as tuas juras
Naquelas noites a sós

A nossas horas de sestas
Ou as estrelas nas frestas
Ou teus olhos vaga-lumes

Foram pra mim na verdade
Tocar na felicidade
Sentido a pele e o perfume

Com uma saudade infinita
Foi que retornei chinita
Para lidar no rincão

De qualquer dor esquecido
Como de amores benzido

Blessed

On my toasted brown horse
Down the hill to the plain
Running with the lasso armed

We circled and the ox was gone
And what I was left with
Was to heal this broken foot

I confess to you, little darling
That on many beautiful mornings
I was bitter

When I heard from the ranch
Bull barking and shouts
Of some rodeo stopped

As soon as the rooster crowed
I used to jump up
With the pain of that misfortune

Unable to put on my boots
And the Brazilian ox in the hollows
Because I couldn't attack

There were days at the ranch
With your caring hands
And the prayers you learned

May this healing cowboy
Spend his afternoons drinking mate
And even forget the pain

When the gourd reached me
I'd tell you certain things
From the times before us

With silence and tenderness
You renewed your vows
On those nights alone

In our afternoon siestas
Or the stars in the cracks
Or your firefly eyes

To me, it was true
To touch happiness
Feeling your skin and perfume

With an infinite longing
That's how I returned, little darling
To work on the ranch

Any pain forgotten
As if blessed by love
