Full lyrics

Menina feche a cancela

Que o touro bravo chegou

Com suas ponta afiadas

Que tão assim enverdeadas


Foi raiz que ele arrancou

Um galope lá no campo

Quem estava de longe via

O mato se torcendo como forte ventania


Com a coragem que Deus me deu

Por onde passava o touro passa o cavalo e eu

Certo dia ouvi falar da fazenda do patrão


Quem pegasse o touro bravo você dava o coração

Quem pegasse o touro bravo você dava o coração

Trago ele e essa flor, que colhi nos campos verdes


Em prova do meu amor

Em prova do meu amor


Se lacei o touro bravo nas quebradas do sertão

Com o laço do amor eu laçarei seu coração

Trago ele e essa flor, que colhi nos campos verdes


Em prova do meu amor

Em prova do meu amor


Se lacei o touro bravo nas quebradas do sertão

Com o laço do amor eu laçarei seu coração

Trago esta rosa para o meu amor

Translation

Girl, close the gate

Because the wild bull has arrived

With its sharp horns

That are so green


It was a root that it pulled out

A gallop there in the field

Whoever was far away could see

The bush twisting like a strong gale


With the courage that God gave me

Where the bull passes, the horse and I pass

One day I heard about the boss's farm


Whoever catches the wild bull, you give your heart

Whoever catches the wild bull, you give your heart

I bring him and this flower, which I picked in the green fields


As proof of my love

As proof of my love


If I lassoed the wild bull in the backlands

With the lasso of love I will lasso your heart

I bring him and this flower, which I picked in the green fields


As proof of my love

As proof of my love


If I lassoed the wild bull in the backlands

With the lasso of love I will lasso your heart

I bring this rose for my love
