Menino Campeiro
Paulinho Mocelin
Country Boy
I know that sometimes I walk around
In jeans and a buckle
I put on my straw hat
And other times my cowboy hat
I know that sometimes I chew imported tobacco
Or have a tererê thinking of her
I walk in rodeos with baggy pants and a belt
Because I'm a master with the ropes
Listen to the sound of horseshoes on the asphalt
If I only have this horse and this lasso
It's what I could afford
Of so many things I learned in the city
One of them was to love you
I'm a country boy
But so many things haven't changed inside me, I know
And never will change
And if I say I love you
You can believe it!
My essence is of these people from the countryside
Where words still have value
A glance or two, was enough and for both of us
It was at a Sunday dance in the city
That I met you dancing and the dance goes on
