Fazenda Velha

I used to be a hardworking countryman from the backlands
In our old farm, I was admired
From running with the cattle so much, I even tore my jacket

I also used to drive with four well-behaved oxen
And I woke up very early to milk the cattle
Back when I was young, my father didn't have hired help

I'm also a driver, I'll increase my worth
I know the whole of Brazil, wherever I'm sent, I'll go
I work with any machine, no matter what it is

But now it's different, see how it happened
My father used to play the accordion, now I'm the one playing
I'm living this life, the luck that God gave me
