Pra Bailar de Cola Atada
César Oliveira
To Dance with a Tied Tail
I settle on the path
I can smell a dance coming
I shake the dust off the hose
Down by the watering hole in the pasture
Soaked in love for the cowboy life
The style of a true ranch hand
'Cause I know in my hometown
You can trust the accordion players
To dance with a tied tail
I take a spin on the dark horse
And a pair of silver stars
I’m out there teasing the leather
I carry hope in my soul
Today I’m starting a romance
And a little bit of confidence
In case some trouble comes my way
And a little bit of confidence
In case some trouble comes my way
I’m gonna take the prettiest girl
To dance with a tied tail
And if she doesn’t know how to dance
I’ll teach her and won’t charge a dime
After I mount my horse
Whatever God wants will happen
'Cause I’m from the time when men
Still loved women
I’m gonna take the prettiest girl
To dance with a tied tail
And if she doesn’t know how to dance
I’ll teach her and won’t charge a dime
After I mount my horse
Whatever God wants will happen
'Cause I’m from the time when men
Still loved women
The accordion lets out a moan
The dust rises up
And I’m already in my worn-out boots
Dragging my feet at the dance
I’m whispering in her ear
My secrets for the song
And feeling bold I invite her
To have a samba with Fanta
Let’s lean over the table
And exchange some affection
With promises of eternal love
No one wants to die alone
Don’t tempt me, dark-haired girl
'Cause you’re a flower full of thorns
And I’m crazy with desire
To drag you to my nest
And I’m crazy with desire
To drag you to my nest
I’m gonna take the prettiest girl
To dance with a tied tail
And if she doesn’t know how to dance
I’ll teach her and won’t charge a dime
After I mount my horse
Whatever God wants will happen
'Cause I’m from the time when men
Still loved women
I’m gonna take the prettiest girl
To dance with a tied tail
And if she doesn’t know how to dance
I’ll teach her and won’t charge a dime
After I mount my horse
Whatever God wants will happen
'Cause I’m from the time when men
Still loved women
