Full lyrics

Numa tarde bem tristonha

Gado muge sem parar

Lamentando seu vaqueiro

Que não vem mais aboiar

Não vem mais aboiar

Tão dolente a cantar

Tengo, lengo, tengo, lengo


Tengo, lengo, tengo

Ei, gado, oi

Bom vaqueiro nordestino

Morre sem deixar tostão

O seu nome é esquecido

Nas quebradas do sertão

Nunca mais ouvirão

Seu cantar, meu irmão


Tengo, lengo, tengo, lengo,

Tengo, lengo, tengo

Ei, gado, oi

Sacudido numa cova

Desprezado do senhor

Só lembrado do cachorro

Que inda chora

Sua dor


É demais tanta dor

A chorar com amor

Tengo, lengo, tengo, lengo,

Tengo, lengo, tengo

Tengo, lengo, tengo, lengo,

Tengo, lengo, tengo

Ei, gado, oi

E... Ei

Translation

On a very sad afternoon

The cattle moo without stopping

Lamenting their cowboy

Who will no longer call out to them

Will no longer call out to them

So mournfully singing

Tengo, lengo, tengo, lengo


Tengo, lengo, tengo

Hey, cattle, oi

Good northeastern cowboy

Dies without leaving a penny

His name is forgotten

In the backlands of the sertão

They will never hear again

His singing, my brother


Tengo, lengo, tengo, lengo,

Tengo, lengo, tengo

Hey, cattle, oi

Shaken into a grave

Despised by the master

Only remembered by the dog

Who still cries

His pain


It's too much pain

To cry with love

Tengo, lengo, tengo, lengo,

Tengo, lengo, tengo

Tengo, lengo, tengo, lengo,

Tengo, lengo, tengo

Hey, cattle, oi

And... Hey
