Full lyrics

Não me chame boiadeiro

Que eu não sou boiadeiro não

Eu sou um pobre vaqueiro

Boiadeiro é o meu patrão

Êêê... ê boi... ê boi..


Vou vender o meu gibão

Eu não quero mais vaquejar

Vou largar esse sertão

Num guento mais pelejar

Êêê... ê boi... ê boi...


Vou me embora dessa terra

Porque você não me quer

Vou deixar meu pé de serra

Pru móde tu, ô mulé.

Êêê... ê boi...ê boi...


Faz três dias que eu não como

Faz quatro eu num armoço

Pelo amor daquela ingrata

Quero comer e não posso

Êêê... ê boi...ê boi...

Translation

Don't call me a cattle driver

Because I am not a cattle driver

I am a poor cowboy

The cattle driver is my boss

Yee-haw... hey ox... hey ox...


I'm going to sell my gibão

I don't want to be a cowboy anymore

I'm going to leave this sertão

I can't fight anymore

Yee-haw... hey ox... hey ox...


I'm leaving this land

Because you don't want me

I'm going to leave my pé de serra

Because of you, oh woman.

Yee-haw... hey ox... hey ox...


It's been three days since I've eaten

It's been four since I've had lunch

For the love of that ungrateful woman

I want to eat and I can't

Yee-haw... hey ox... hey ox...
