| O meu cavalo dos arreios prateados
| My silver harness horse
|
| E a namorada, muito amada, agarrada na garupa
| And the girlfriend, much loved, clinging to the croup
|
| Me protegendo dos malefícios da vida
| Protecting myself from the harms of life
|
| E agarrada, muito amada, na garupa do cavalo
| She is held, much loved, on the horse's back
|
| Iê, iê… arreio de prata, uou, uou eu todo prateado
| Hey, yeah… silver harness, woah, woah I all silver
|
| Muita boiada, muita cerca colocada
| A lot of cattle, a lot of fence put up
|
| E as meninas proibidas de fazer amor mais cedo
| And the girls prohibited from making love earlier
|
| E o meu cavalo e a sua égua malhada
| And my horse and your piebald mare
|
| Fazendo amor no terreiro da morada das meninas
| Making love in the terreiro of the girls' address
|
| E relinchavam, pois gozavam liberdade
| And they whinnied, as they enjoyed freedom
|
| E as meninas não podiam nem gozar da vaidade
| And the girls could not even enjoy the vanity
|
| E as meninas até sonhavam com a cidade
| And the girls even dreamed of the city
|
| E com os rapazes que por ventura encontrassem
| And with the boys who happened to find
|
| E olhavam tanto para o meu cavalo |
| And they looked so much at my horse |
|
| Se imaginavam éguas e eu todo prateado
| If you imagined mares and I was all silver
|
| E olhavam tanto tanto para meu cavalo se imaginavam éguas e eu todo prateado | And they looked so much at my horse if they imagined mares and I was all silver |
