Changueiro de Vida e Lida
Luiz Marenco
Life and Work Switcher
When the bells stop ringing
Where will I go, where will I go?
Maybe switch it up to save a few bucks
'Cause I always spend faster than I earn
I’ll dust off my old poncho
Loyal partner, loyal partner
João Maria told me from the town
Count on me to ride out to a salad bar
And so it will be, 'cause that’s how a cowboy’s life goes
Switching up the grind, living life without a reason
I don’t care for other ways if it’s not like this
And it will live on
'Cause living as a switcher is all I’ve learned
Knows that prayers mean nothing to an atheist
Nor catechisms for those without faith
When the bells stop ringing
Where will I go, where will I go?
Maybe switch it up to save a few bucks
'Cause I always spend faster than I earn
I’ll dust off my old poncho
Loyal partner, loyal partner
João Maria told me from the town
Count on me to ride out to a salad bar
I’ll wake up early
Stop by the store, fill the saddlebag and head out
Joyful gallop towards the ranch to make my girl smile
And the kids who are waiting for me
And I’ll stay
Two or three days to finally ease this longing
Gather my strength and leave, 'cause it has to be this way
My ranch is the world and the roads since I was born a cowboy
When the bells stop ringing
Where will I go, where will I go?
Maybe switch it up to save a few bucks
'Cause I always spend faster than I earn
I’ll dust off my old poncho
Loyal partner, loyal partner
João Maria told me from the town
Count on me to ride out to a salad bar
So I’ll go, once again, a shot of adrenaline down the hall
Revisiting my own trail, always a champion
And new dawns that light up the land where I came from
And I’ll sing, my alert song
Land and fire, a switcher too
With the certainty that in life nothing and no one
Can tame the wild stallion that bucks inside me
