Текст и перевод песни Tião Carreiro & Pardinho - Catimbau

Catimbau

Tive lendo no romance de um casal de namorado
De Rosinha e Catimbau, dois jovens apaixonados
Rosinha, família rica, Catimbau era um coitado
Capataz de uma fazenda, mas trabalhador honrado
Adomava burro bravo, no laço era respeitado
Um caboclo destemido, por tudo era admirado

Catimbau encontrou Rosinha lá no alto do espigão
Por se ver os dois sozinhos, quis aproveitar da ocasião
Catimbau pediu um beijo, Rosinha disse que não, ai
Ela bem estava querendo, mas não deu demonstração
De tanto que ele insistiu, ela deu uma decisão
Vamos deixar para outro dia, ai para as festas de São João, ai

Passaram esses cinco meses, chegou o esperado dia
Rosinha tava mais linda, como uma flor parecia
A festa tava animada, todos com grande alegria
Quando o pai de Rosa veio perguntando quem queria
Mostrar ciência no laço, pra laçar o boi Ventania
E os vaqueiros amedrontados, ai todos eles se escondiam

Chamaram então Catimbau, mas ele não atendeu
Rosinha disse: "meu bem, vá fazer o pedido meu"
Catimbau é corajoso, mas nessa hora tremeu
Depois deu um sorriso amargo pra Rosinha respondeu
"Eu vou laçar esse touro pra te mostrar quem sou eu
Mas depois eu quero o beijo, ai que você me prometeu, ai"

Catimbau mais que depressa no seu bragado montou
Chegou a espora no macho e a laçada ele aprontou
A laçada foi certeira que o povo se admirou, ai
Catimbau foi infeliz, o bragado se atrapalhou
O laço fez uma volta, no seu pescoço enrolou
Com o pealo que o boi deu, sua cabeça decepou, ai

Trouxeram a cabeça dele, Rosinha nela pegou
Chorando desesperada, desse jeito ela falou:
"Catimbau, prometi um beijo, receba, agora te dou ai"
Na boca do seu amado, tristemente ela beijou
Este é fim de uma história dando provas que se amou
Rosinha e Catimbau, ai que a morte separou, ai

Catimbau

I read in a romance novel about a couple of lovers
Rosinha and Catimbau, two young people in love
Rosinha was from a wealthy family, Catimbau was poor
He was a foreman on a farm, but he was an honest worker
He loved breaking wild donkeys, and he was respected as a lassoer
He was a fearless cowboy and admired by all

Catimbau met Rosinha on the top of a bluff
Since they were alone, he wanted to take advantage of the situation
Catimbau asked for a kiss, Rosinha said no
She really wanted to, but she didn't show it
After he insisted so much, she made a decision
Let's leave it for another day, for the Saint John's festivities

Those five months passed, and the long-awaited day arrived
Rosinha was even more beautiful, she looked like a flower
The party was lively, and everyone was very happy
When Rosa's father asked who wanted
Show their lassoing skills to rope the bull Ventania
The cowboys were scared, and they all hid

They then called for Catimbau, but he didn't answer
Rosinha said: "My dear, go and do it for me"
Catimbau is brave, but at that moment he trembled
After a bitter smile, he replied to Rosinha
I'm going to rope that bull to show you who I am
But then I want the kiss, the one you promised me

Catimbau quickly mounted his Appaloosa horse
He spurred the horse and got the lasso ready
The lasso was accurate, which amazed the people
Catimbau was unlucky, the Appaloosa made a mistake
The lasso made a loop and got tangled around his neck
With the jerk the bull made, it decapitated him

They brought his head to her, Rosinha took it
Crying in despair, she said:
"Catimbau, I promised you a kiss, here it is, I give it to you now"
She sadly kissed her lover's mouth
This is the end of a story proving that they loved each other
Rosinha and Catimbau, they were separated by death
