Paroles et traduction Tião Carreiro & Pardinho - Boiada Cuiabana

Boiada Cuiabana

Vou contar a minha vida do tempo que eu era moço
De uma viagem que eu fiz lá pro sertão de Mato Grosso
Fui buscar uma boiada, isto foi no mês de agosto

Meu patrão foi embarcado na linha sorocabana
Capataz da comitiva era o Juca flor da fama
Fui tratado pra trazer uma boiada cuiabana

No baio foi João Negrão, no tordilho, Severino
Zé Garcia no alazão, no pampa foi Catarino
A madrinha e o cargueiro quem puxava era um menino

Eu saí de Lambari na minha besta ruana
Só depois de 30 dias que cheguei em Aquidauana
Lá, fiquei enamorado de uma malvada baiana

Ao chegar em Campo Grande, num cassino eu fui entrando
Uma linda paraguaia na mesa estava jogando
Botei a mão na algibeira, dinheiro estava sobrando

Ela mandou me dizer pra que eu fosse chegando
Eu mandei dizer pra ela, vá bebendo e eu vou pagando
Eu joguei nove partidas, meu dinheiro foi andando

A lua foi se escondendo, vinha rompendo a manhã
Aquela morena faceira, trigueira, cor de romã
Soluçando, me dizia
Muchacho, llevame contigo que te daré toda mi alma
Todo mi amor, todo mi cariño, toda mi vida

E os boiadeiros no rancho estavam pronto pra partida
Numa roseira cheirosa, os passarinhos cantava
Minha besta ruana parece que adivinhava
Que eu sozinho não partia, meu amor me acompanhava

Eu parti de Campo Grande com a boiada cuiabana
Meu amor veio na anca da minha besta ruana
Hoje eu tenho quem me alegra na minha velha choupana

Cuiaba Cattle Drive

I'll tell you about my life when I was a young man
About a trip I took to the backlands of Mato Grosso
I went to get a herd of cattle, it was in the month of August

My boss was embarked on the Sorocabana line
The foreman of the group was Juca flor da fama
I was hired to bring a herd of Cuiaba cattle

On the bay horse was João Negrão, on the gray, Severino
Zé Garcia on the chestnut, on the pampa was Catarino
The godmother and the pack horse were led by a boy

I left Lambari on my roan beast
It was only after 30 days that I arrived in Aquidauana
There, I fell in love with a wicked Bahian

When I arrived in Campo Grande, I went into a casino
A beautiful Paraguayan was playing at the table
I put my hand in my pocket, I had money to spare

She sent word for me to come closer
I sent word to her, keep drinking and I'll pay
I played nine games, my money started to dwindle

The moon was setting, morning was breaking
That pretty morena, dark-skinned, the color of a pomegranate
Sobbing, she said to me
Muchacho, take me with you and I'll give you my whole soul
All my love, all my affection, all my life

And the cowboys at the ranch were ready to set off
In a fragrant rose bush, the birds were singing
My roan beast seemed to know
That I wasn't leaving alone, my love was coming with me

I left Campo Grande with the Cuiaba cattle
My love came on the haunches of my roan beast
Today I have someone to make me happy in my old hut
