Текст и перевод песни Mano Lima - Compadre Milóca

Compadre Milóca

Compadre Miloca eu me lembro
De pegas de gado e muita fartura
Do teu laço meu compadre,
Com quatorze braças e de boa grossura
Sempre digo meu compadre
E foi índio muito laçador
Dava duas voltas e sampava
E o matreiro olhava pro chinchador.
Compadre empurrava-lhe a corda
E as rodilhas saltavam igual baba de potro
Parecia até os bugios
Quando vão debandando de um angico pra outro
Foi no bolicho do Guedes
Que meu compadre encontrei
Foi tomando uma cachaça
E empurrando-lhe a corda pro fim me lacei.
Compadre empurrava-lhe a corda
E as rodilhas saltavam igual baba de potro
Parecia até os bugios
Quando vão debandando de um angico pra outro
Foi no bolicho do Guedes
Canha braba igual não há
Quando resolvi vir embora
Levei mais de hora pra poder montar.

Compadre Milóca

My dear Compadre Miloca, I remember
Of cattle drives and plenty of food
Of your lasso, my compadre,
Fourteen fathoms long and thick as a good
I always say, my compadre
And he was an Indian, a great roper
He would give two turns and tie it down
And the trickster would look at the steersman.
Compadre would pull the rope
And the coils would jump like a colt's drool
It looked like the howler monkeys
When they run from one angico tree to another
It was at Guedes' store
That I found my compadre
He was drinking some cachaça
And pulling the rope until I was roped.
Compadre would pull the rope
And the coils would jump like a colt's drool
It looked like the howler monkeys
When they run from one angico tree to another
It was at Guedes' store
Fierce rum like no other
When I decided to leave
It took me more than an hour to mount up.
