Full lyrics
Nasci lá na cidade me casei na serra
Com a minha Mariana moça lá de fora
Um dia eu estranhei os carinhos dela
E disse adeus Mariana que eu já vou me embora
É gaúcha de verdade dos quatro costados
Que usa chapéu grande bombacha e esporas
E eu que estava vendo o caso complicado
Disse adeus Mariana que eu já vou me embora
Nem bem rompeu o dia me tirou da cama
Encilhou o tordilho e saiu campo a fora
E eu aproveitei e saí dizendo
Adeus Mariana que eu já vou me embora
Ela não disse nada mas ficou cismando
Que era desta que eu daria o fora
Pegou uma açoiteira e veio contra mim
Eu disse larga Mariana que eu não vou me embora
Ela ficou zangada e foi quebrando tudo
Pegou a minha roupa e jogou porta afora
Agarrei fiz uma trouxa e saí dizendo
Adeus Mariana que eu já vou me embora
Translation
I was born in the city, married in the mountains
With my Mariana, a girl from out of town
One day I found her affections strange
And I said goodbye Mariana, I'm leaving now
She's a true gaucha, through and through
Who wears a big hat, bombachas, and spurs
And I, seeing the complicated situation
Said goodbye Mariana, I'm leaving now
As soon as day broke, she pulled me out of bed
She saddled the dapple-grey and rode out into the field
And I took the opportunity and left saying
Goodbye Mariana, I'm leaving now
She didn't say anything but kept brooding
That this was the time I'd really leave
She grabbed a whip and came towards me
I said let go Mariana, I'm not leaving
She got angry and started breaking everything
She grabbed my clothes and threw them out the door
I grabbed them, made a bundle, and left saying
Goodbye Mariana, I'm leaving now
