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
To my Mariana, a girl from out of town
One day I found her affections strange
And said goodbye Mariana, I'm leaving now
She's a true gaúcha through and through
Who wears a big hat, bombacha, and spurs
And I, seeing the situation was complicated
Said goodbye Mariana, I'm leaving now
No sooner had day broken, she pulled me out of bed
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 said nothing but kept wondering
If this was it, that I would leave for good
She grabbed a whip and came towards me
I said let go Mariana, I'm not leaving now
She got angry and started breaking everything
Grabbed my clothes and threw them out the door
I gathered them, made a bundle, and left saying
Goodbye Mariana, I'm leaving now
