Vaqueiro véio sentado
Na varanda da morada
Estrupiado
Já não tange mais boiada
Fica chorando
Quando passa outro aboiando
Êêê boi...
Lembrando o tempo
Quando bom vaqueiro foi........bis
Vaqueiro véio
A velhice é tão mesquinha
Não é tua, não é minha
Para todos vai chegar
Te consola vaqueiro
Solta aboio vaqueiro
Que sorrindo ou chorando
Amanhã senta outro em teu lugar
Êêê boi...
Lembrando o tempo
Quando bom vaqueiro foi........bis
Vaqueiro véio sentado
Na varanda da morada
Estrupiado
Já não tange mais boiada
Fica chorando
Quando passa outro aboiando
Êêê boi...
Lembrando o tempo
Quando bom vaqueiro foi........bis
Vaqueiro véio
A velhice é tão mesquinha
Não é tua, não é minha
Para todos vai chegar
Te consola vaqueiro
Solta aboio vaqueiro
Que sorrindo ou chorando
Amanhã senta outro em teu lugar
Êêê boi...Lembrando o tempo
Quando bom vaqueiro foi........bis
Translation
Old cowboy sitting
On the veranda of the dwelling
Crippled
He no longer drives cattle
He keeps crying
When another one passes by singing the cattle call
Êêê boi...
Remembering the time
When he was a good cowboy
Remembering the time
When he was a good cowboy
Old cowboy
Old age is so mean
It's not yours, it's not mine
It will come for everyone
Console yourself, cowboy
Let out a cattle call, cowboy
Because smiling or crying
Tomorrow another will sit in your place
Êêê boi...
Remembering the time
When he was a good cowboy
Remembering the time
When he was a good cowboy
Old cowboy sitting
On the veranda of the dwelling
Crippled
He no longer drives cattle
He keeps crying
When another one passes by singing the cattle call
Êêê boi...
Remembering the time
When he was a good cowboy
Remembering the time
When he was a good cowboy
Old cowboy
Old age is so mean
It's not yours, it's not mine
It will come for everyone
Console yourself, cowboy
Let out a cattle call, cowboy
Because smiling or crying
Tomorrow another will sit in your place
Êêê boi...Remembering the time
When he was a good cowboy
Êêê boi...Remembering the time
When he was a good cowboy
