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 cowboy

Because I'm not a cowboy

I'm just a poor herdsman

The cowboy is my boss

Êêê... hey ox... hey ox..


I'm going to sell my leather jacket

I don't want to herd cattle anymore

I'm going to leave this backlands

I can't stand to struggle anymore

Êêê... hey ox... hey ox..


I'm going away from this land

Because you don't want me

I'm going to leave my 'pé de serra'

Because of you, oh woman.

Êêê... hey ox... hey ox...


It's been three days since I ate

It's been four since I had lunch

For the love of that ungrateful woman

I want to eat and I can't

Êêê... hey ox... hey ox...
