Текст и перевод песни Pirisca Grecco - Carreira de Campo

Carreira de Campo

Era uma tarde qualquer
Volta pras casas da lida
Ia um gateado e um tordilho
Cruzando a várzea estendida

Ia um indio no gateado
No tordilho outro campeiro
Um de pala a meia espalda
O outro de lenço e sombreiro

Se largaram em paleteio
Que um olhar firma a carreira
Desde as duas corticeiras
Até o cruzar da porteira

É a rédea frouxa na mão
Contra uma espora segura
Quem sabe é por pataquada
Por honra ou por rapadura

Só sei que bem pareciam
Dois tauras em disparada
Uma carga de combate
Mas era só carreirada

Hace tiempo no se via
Uma carreira tão parelha
Era focinho a focinho
Era orelha com orelha

A várzea ficou pequena
Pra mostrar como se faz
Uma carreira de campo
Saltando barro pra trás

O gateado mais ligeiro
Que um tirambaço de bala
Cruzou o vão da porteira
Com o índio abanando o pala

O tordilho outro balaço
Cruzou ligeiro num facho
Chapéu quebrado na aba
Mas firme no barbicacho

Quem perdeu e quem ganhou
Cruzaram assim num repente
Um diz que cruzou primeiro
O outro que ia na frente

Só sei que bem pareciam
Dois tauras em disparada
Uma carga de combate
Mas era só carreirada

Hace tiempo no se via
Uma carreira tão parelha
Era focinho a focinho
Era orelha com orelha

Só sei que bem pareciam
Dois tauras em disparada
Uma carga de combate
Mas era só carreirada

Hace tiempo no se via
Uma carreira tão parelha
Era focinho a focinho
Era orelha com orelha

Countryside Race

It was just an afternoon
Returning home from work
There was a Appaloosa and a Grey
Crossing the outstretched meadow

An Indian was on the Appaloosa
Another cowboy on the Grey
One with a poncho over his back
The other with a scarf and hat

They took off in a gallop
With one determined look
From the two cork trees
To the other side of the gate

The reins are loose in their hands
Against a sure spur
Who knows if for show
For honor or for fun

All I know is that they seemed
Like two bulls in a fight
A battle charge
But it was just a country race

It had been a while since I had seen
Such an even race
It was nose to nose
It was ear to ear

The meadow seemed small
To show how it's done
A countryside race
Leaping over mud backwards

The Appaloosa faster
Than a bullet shot
Crossed the open gate
With the Indian waving his poncho

The Grey another bullet
Crossed quickly in a flash
Hat broken at the brim
But firm on the chinstrap

Who lost and who won
They crossed so quickly
One says he crossed first
The other says he was ahead

All I know is that they seemed
Like two bulls in a fight
A battle charge
But it was just a country race

It had been a while since I had seen
Such an even race
It was nose to nose
It was ear to ear

All I know is that they seemed
Like two bulls in a fight
A battle charge
But it was just a country race

It had been a while since I had seen
Such an even race
It was nose to nose
It was ear to ear
