Border Howler Monkey

Bugio da Fronteira

The howler monkey from Lagoa Vacaria roars and goes down the mountainRonca o bugio de Lagoa Vacaria e serra abaixo
But this one came from the border with a braided hatMas esse veio da fronteira com chapéu de barbicacho
Wearing baggy pants and espadrilles and playing the eight-bass accordionDe bombacha e alpargata e gaiteiro de oito baixo Bis
(If I catch you, monkey, I'll shear you(Se te pego bugio eu te toso
Shearing you, I'll take your poster downTe tosando te tiro o cartaz
And I'll let you go with your tail upE te largo de cola erguida
And the pack of dogs behind)E a cachorrada de atrás)

The howler monkey, daring creature, arrived with slynessO bugio, bicho atrevido se chegou com manha de sancho
With a look of a gentle fox and claws like a caranchoCom olhar de sorro manso e as garras de iguais a carancho
He hid from the pack of dogs and went to knock on my ranch doorSe escondeu da cachorrada e foi bater lá no meu rancho Bis

The howler monkey made a mess in my countryside shedO bugio fez reviria no meu galpão de campanha
From the blood sausage hanging to the old lard potDesde o varal de morcilha ao velho tacho de banha
He gorged on my dried meat and drowned in my sugarcane liquorSe empanturrou com meu charque e se afogou na minha canha Bis

And then he left contented and patting his bellyE depois se foi a la cria satisfeito e batendo no bucho
And shouting if anyone had a problem, they could come and test himE gritando se alguém achou ruim pode vim que eu agüento o repuxo
And whoever saw him saw the devil disguised as a gauchoE quem visse via o capeta disfarçado de gaúcho Bis
