Full lyrics
Um vaqueiro apaixonado
Montado no seu cavalo
De nome preto alazão
Numa grande vaqueijada
Acenou pra sua amada
No meio da multidão
Ela lhe mandou um beijo
Satisfeito seu desejo
A paixão do seu coração
E numa grande corrida
Em nome da sua amada
Derrubou o boi no chão
E quando o boi caiu
Ê boi,ê boi
Ofereceu prá donzela
Ê boi,ê boi
Um buquê de flores lindas
Junto com o troféu
Que ele conquistou pra ela
Foi felicidade tanta
Sorrindo que nem criança
Correu ao encontro dela
O pai da moça era brabo
E andava desconfiado
Do vaqueira campeão
E quando eles se beijaram
O pai da moça zangado
Começou a confusão
E o vaqueiro fugiu, ê boi,ê boi
Carregando a danzela, ê boi, ê boi (bis)
Deixado como lembrança
As flores e o troféu que ele conquitou pra ela
Translation
A vaqueiro in love
Mounted on his horse
Named black sorrel
In a big vaqueijada
He waved to his beloved
In the middle of the crowd
She sent him a kiss
His desire satisfied
The passion of his heart
And in a big race
In the name of his beloved
He brought the ox down to the ground
And when the ox fell
Hey ox, hey ox
He offered the maiden
Hey ox, hey ox
A bouquet of beautiful flowers
Along with the trophy
That he won for her
It was such happiness
Smiling like a child
He ran to meet her
The girl's father was fierce
And was suspicious
Of the champion vaqueiro
And when they kissed
The girl's father, angry
Started the confusion
And the vaqueiro fled, hey ox, hey ox
Carrying the maiden, hey ox, hey ox (bis)
Left as a souvenir
The flowers and the trophy he won for her
