Full lyrics
Cerrero ê ê
Manda boi andar
Lá vai o carro cantando
E o carreiro carreando
Que bonito é carrear
Que bonito é carrear, ê boi
Meu carro geme na curva do pé da serra
Quando a corda corta a terra do caminho empoeirado
O boi adestrado não precisa de ferrão
Tendo descanso e ração chega no fim da viagem
Eu sei,
Translation
Wild ox, oh oh
Make the ox walk
There goes the cart singing
And the oxcart driver driving
How beautiful it is to drive the oxcart
How beautiful it is to drive the oxcart, oh ox
My cart groans on the curve at the foot of the mountain
When the rope cuts the earth of the dusty path
The trained ox doesn't need a goad
Having rest and feed, it reaches the end of the journey
I know,
