Текст и перевод песни Tião Carreiro & Carreirinho - Boi Cigano

Boi Cigano

Na cidade de Andradina
Com a boiada eu fui chegando
Eu tava só com seis peão
Oitocentos boi nós vinha tocando

Com esse gadão de raça
Naquela praça fui travessando
O ponteiro ia adiante
Com o berrante ia repicando

No meio dessa boiada
Eu levava um boi por nome Cigano
O mestiço era valente
Por onde andava fazia dano

Ganhei o boi de presente
Na negociada dos cuiabano
Já vinha recomendado
Pra ter cuidado com esse tirano

O comprador desse gado
Na estação já estava esperando
Pra fazer o pagamento
Depois do embarque dos cuiabano

Joguei os boi na mangueira
E gritei pros peão já pode ir embarcando
Embarquemo' os pantaneiro
E no mangueiro ficou Cigano

Chegou naquela cidade
O grande circo Sul-Africano
Os homens com o proprietário
A respeito o boi tava comentando

Insultou-me numa briga
Do leão feroz e o cuiabano
Bati vinte mil na hora
E jogos por fora estava sobrando

O circo tava lotado
E o dado momento estava chegando
Quando as feras se encontraram
Eu vi que o mundo ia se acabando

Uns gritavam de emoção
E outros de medo tava chorando
Em vinte minutos o leão
Assentou no chão e ficou urrando

O leão é o rei das fera
Na selva ele é o soberano, ai, ai
Com sentimento seu dono
Entregou o trono pro meu Cigano, ai, ai

The Boy Gypsy

In the city of Andradina
I arrived with the cattle drive
I only had six cowboys with me
We were driving eight hundred oxen

With this purebred drove
I crossed that square
The point man went ahead
Sounding his horn

In the middle of this cattle drive
I had an ox named Gypsy
The half-breed was brave
Did damage wherever he went

I received the ox as a gift
In a trade with the Cuiabá cowboys
I had already been warned
To be careful with this tyrant

The buyer of this cattle
Was already waiting at the station
To make payment
After the Cuiabá cowboys shipped out

I threw the oxen into the chute
And shouted to the cowboys that they could start loading them
We'll ship the steers from the Pantanal
And Gypsy stayed in the chute

The great South African Circus
Arrived in that city
The roustabouts with the owner
Were talking about the ox

He insulted me in a fight
Between the fierce lion and the Cuiabá cowboy
I quickly wagered twenty thousand
And the odds kept getting better

The circus was packed
And the moment had arrived
When the beasts met
I saw that the world was coming to an end

Some screamed with excitement
And others were crying with fear
In twenty minutes the lion
Collapsed on the ground and roared

The lion is the king of beasts
In the jungle he is the sovereign, oh, oh
With regret, his owner
Gave up the throne to my Gypsy, oh, oh
