Lyrics of Arreio De Prata - Alceu Valença

Arreio De Prata (original)

O meu cavalo dos arreios prateados
E a namorada, muito amada, agarrada na garupa
Me protegendo dos malefícios da vida
E agarrada, muito amada, na garupa do cavalo
Iê, iê… arreio de prata, uou, uou eu todo prateado
Muita boiada, muita cerca colocada
E as meninas proibidas de fazer amor mais cedo
E o meu cavalo e a sua égua malhada
Fazendo amor no terreiro da morada das meninas
E relinchavam, pois gozavam liberdade
E as meninas não podiam nem gozar da vaidade
E as meninas até sonhavam com a cidade
E com os rapazes que por ventura encontrassem
E olhavam tanto para o meu cavalo |
Se imaginavam éguas e eu todo prateado
E olhavam tanto tanto para meu cavalo se imaginavam éguas e eu todo prateado

(translation)

My silver harness horse
And the girlfriend, much loved, clinging to the croup
Protecting myself from the harms of life
She is held, much loved, on the horse's back
Hey, yeah… silver harness, woah, woah I all silver
A lot of cattle, a lot of fence put up
And the girls prohibited from making love earlier
And my horse and your piebald mare
Making love in the terreiro of the girls' address
And they whinnied, as they enjoyed freedom
And the girls could not even enjoy the vanity
And the girls even dreamed of the city
And with the boys who happened to find
And they looked so much at my horse |
If you imagined mares and I was all silver
And they looked so much at my horse if they imagined mares and I was all silver
