Full lyrics
O fazendeiro é quem manda o vaqueiro
vaquejar o dia inteiro
tomando conta do gado
Mas o vaqueiro afamado no sertão
Vai cantando uma canção
Com seu aboio apaixonado
O patrão manda em mim
Eu sou o empregado
Eu aboio assim
E com meu aboio
Domino todo o gado
Translation
The farmer is the one who orders the cowboy
to herd cattle all day long
taking care of the cattle
But the famous cowboy in the backlands
Goes singing a song
With his passionate cattle call
The boss orders me around
I'm the employee
I call the cattle like this
And with my cattle call
I dominate all the cattle
