Full lyrics
Olha o boi partiu de lá
Que vinha de venta acesa
O boi partiu de lá
Eu fiz a minha defesa
O boi partiu de lá
Sou vaqueiro do nordeste
O boi partiu de lá
O bicho vinha com a peste
O boi partiu de lá
Doidinho pra me dar fim
O boi partiu de lá
Era um boi das pontas curtas
Da raça que tem lubim
O boi partiu de lá
Eita boi marvado vinha espumando
Vinha faiscando, mas eu segurei
Em seguida eu derrubei
Logo no primeiro tombo
Depois pisei no seu lombo
E o bruto eu amansei
Translation
Look, the bull charged from there
That came with nostrils blazing
The bull charged from there
I made my defense
The bull charged from there
I am a cowboy from the Northeast
The bull charged from there
The beast came with the plague
The bull charged from there
Crazy to finish me off
The bull charged from there
It was a bull with short horns
Of the breed that has lubim
The bull charged from there
Oh, the wicked bull came foaming
It was sparking, but I held on
Then I brought it down
Right on the first fall
After that I stepped on its back
And the brute I tamed
