Velho Red

Old Red

O Velho Red era um dos mais brabos que já vi no grande rodeioOld Red was one of the orneriest yet I've seen at the big rodeo
Ele te mordia, te chutava e acabava com a sua vida, o Velho Red nunca foi montadoHe'd bite you and kick you and stomp out your life Old Red had never been rode
Mais malvado que o pecado, selvagem como o vento que soprava nas planícies de MontanaMeaner than sin wild as the wind that blew on the Montana plains
O Velho Red era um dos últimos de sua espécie e não ia se deixar domarOld Red was one of the last of his breed and wasn't about to be tamed
De Idaho, um jovem cowboy veio para montar no grande rodeioFrom Idaho a young cowboy came to ride in the big rodeo
O nome do jovem cowboy era Billy McClain e Billy nunca tinha sido derrubadoThe young cowboy's name was Billy McClain and Billy had never been throwed
O maior desejo enchia o coração do jovem Billy de montar esse velho fora da lei chamado RedThe greatest desire filled young Billy's heart to ride this old outlaw called Red
Ele o sorteou um dia e ouvi Billy dizer: "Vou montá-lo ou vou cair morto"He drew him one day and I heard Billy say I'll ride him or drop over dead
O Velho Red estava furioso lá no brete, chutando e se debatendoOld Red was wicked down there in the chute he was kickin' and stompin' about
Billy pulou na sela com facilidade e gritou: "Solta ele, deixa a gente sair!"Billy dropped into the saddle with ease then yelled turn him loose let us out
O Velho Red saiu com a cabeça baixa, suas patas traseiras tocando o narizOld Red came out with his head on the ground his back hooves were touching his nose
Tentando se livrar do homem em suas costas, mas o homem ia aonde ele fosseTryin' to get rid of the man of his back but the man went wherever he'd go
Billy estava cutucando o Velho Red com seus esporas, da cauda até o queixoBilly was rakin' Old Red with his spurs from his tail to the tip of his chin
Ele estava indo muito bem, mas Billy podia perceber que esse fora da lei nunca ia se renderHe was doin' right well but Billy could tell this outlaw would never give in
O Velho Red estava correndo direto para a cerca, de repente parou e entãoOld Red was runnin' straight for the fence suddenly stopped in and then
Ele se ergueu sobre as patas traseiras e caiu de costas, levando o pobre Billy com eleHe r'ared on his hind legs then fell on his back taking poor Billy with him
Houve um silêncio na multidão e eles sabiam que essa seria a última montaria de BillyThere was a hush in the crowd and they knew this would be Billy's last ride
O chifre da sela esmagou o peito de Billy quando caíram e sob o Velho Red, Billy morreuThe saddle horn crushed Billy's chest when they fell and under Old Red Billy died
O Velho Red ficou parado, não se moveria mais, os cowboys que viram podiam dizerOld Red lay still no more would he move the cowboys that seen it could tell
Ao tentar jogar Billy para fora de suas costas, o Velho Red quebrou o pescoço ao cairIn tryin' to throw Billy off of his back old Red broke his neck when he fell
No oeste é o lugar onde descansam esse cowboy que nunca foi derrubadoOut in the west is the place where they rest this cowboy that never was throwed
E a um pé de distância, descansando ali sob a terra, está o fora da lei que nunca foi montado.And one foot away resting there neath the clay is the outlaw that never was rode
