Full lyrics

O cabra pra ser vaqueiro

Tem que ter sangue de macho

Estando em cima ou em baixo

Pleita na situação


O cabra pra ser vaqueiro

Tem que ter fogo no tacho

Da grito no embaraço

Grudado no barbatão


No rabo do boi segura pião

Grita que vai de esteira

E quem faz locução (Bis)


Na pista de vaqueja

Lá no alto da chapada

Vaqueiro não teme nada

É o herói do sertão.

Translation

A cabra to be a vaqueiro

Must have macho blood

Being on top or below

Contends with the situation


A cabra to be a vaqueiro

Must have fire in the pot

Shouts in the entanglement

Holding onto the barbatão


On the ox's tail, holds the pião

Shouts that he goes as esteira

And who does the narration (Bis)


On the vaquejada track

Up high on the chapada

Vaqueiro fears nothing

He is the hero of the sertão.
