Full lyrics
Tropeiro
Vai partir de madrugada não vê mais a sua amada
E apressado saía
Tropeiro, é muito longe a estrada poe na frente a burrarada
E amanhece o dia
Já bem distante o descampado, anoitece
Tropeiro não esquece o seu grande amor
Vê as estrelas no céu brilhando
E o tropeiro ficando cheio de langor
Para o rebanho já cansado de andar
E vai descansar lá no canto sozinho
Pensa na vida cheio de amargura
Essa criatura vive sem carinho
Translation
Cattle driver
Will leave at dawn, won't see his beloved anymore
And hurried away
Cattle driver, the road is very long, puts the herd ahead
And the day dawns
Already far away, the open field, night falls
Cattle driver doesn't forget his great love
Sees the stars shining in the sky
And the cattle driver becoming full of longing
For the herd already tired of walking
And will rest there in the corner alone
Thinks about life full of bitterness
This creature lives without affection
