Adeus Mariana
Gaúcho da Fronteira
Goodbye Mariana
I was born in the city, got married in the mountains
With my Mariana, a girl from afar
One day I felt strange about her affections
And said "goodbye Mariana, I'm leaving now"
She's a true gaucho from head to toe
Wears a big hat, baggy trousers, and spurs
And I, seeing the situation getting complicated
Said "goodbye Mariana, I'm leaving now"
As soon as the day broke, she got me out of bed
Saddled the dapple-gray horse and rode off into the countryside
I got angry and left saying:
"Goodbye Mariana, I'm leaving now"
She didn't say anything, but kept thinking
That this time I would really leave her
She grabbed the whip and came towards me
I said "let go Mariana, I'm not leaving"
She got furious and started breaking everything
Took my clothes and threw them out the door
I packed a bundle and left saying:
"Goodbye, Mariana, I'm leaving now"
