Queen Of The Big Rodeo

Rainha do Grande Rodeio

Queen Of The Big Rodeo

Reúnam-se, cowboys, vou contar uma históriaGather 'round cowboys I'll tell you a tale
Uma história difícil de se contarA story that's hard to be told
Sobre uma cowgirl que amávamos e chamávamosOf a trick ridin' cowgril we loved and we called
A rainha do grande rodeioThe queen of the big roder

Onde quer que ela fosse, sempre era aclamadaWherever she went she was always acclaimed
Como a melhor das garotas de montariaAs the greatest of trick ridin' girls
Perfeição e beleza eram só delaPerfection and beauty were her's all alone
Ela era, sem dúvida, a melhor do mundoShe was strickly the best in the world

Cowboys e cowgirls comentavam sobre seu charmeCowboys and cowgirls remarked of her charm
E um sorriso que iluminava o mundoAnd a smile that brightened the world
Admirada e escolhida por muitos homensAdmired and chosen by many a man
Como a melhor das garotas de montariaAs the best of the trick ridin' girls

Uma noite em Houston, a multidão era imensaOne night in Houston the crowd was so big
Havia quarenta e cinco mil ou maisThere was forty-five thousand or more
Ela estava quase terminando seu ato da noiteShe had just about finished her act for the night
Mais um truque que a plateia esperavaOne more trick the crowd waited for

Um truque perigoso a toda velocidade do cavaloA dangerous trick at the horse's full speed
Um truque que nunca tinha sido tentadoA trick that had never been tried
Cowboys e cowgirls sabiam que se ela falhasseCowboys and cowgirls both knew if she failed
Se ela caísse, poderia facilmente morrerIf she fell she could easily die

A montaria era perfeita e quase completaThe ride was perfection and almost complete
De repente, algo deu erradoSuddenly somethin' went wrong
A cinta se soltou e ela perdeu o controleThe sinch gave away and she lost control
E a toda velocidade, caiu no chãoAnd at full speed she fell to the ground

Nenhum músculo se moveu enquanto ela ficou onde caiuNot one muscle moved as she lay where she fell
Ela estava inconsciente, disse um domadorShe's unconscious, one bronc buster said
Mas o médico tirou qualquer dúvida de nossas mentesBut the doctor removed any doubt from our minds
Quando disse que a jovem cowgirl estava mortaWhen he said, the young cowgirl was dead

Nenhuma alma viva na multidão se mexeuNot one livin' soul in the crowd made a move
Todos sabiam que algo estava erradoThey all knew that somethin' was wrong
Enquanto a levavam do lugar onde caiuAs they took her away from the place where she lay
Eles sabiam que a jovem cowgirl tinha partidoThey knew the young cowgirl was gone

Os cowboys apenas ficaram ali com os chapéus nas mãosCowboys just stood there with hats in their hands
As cabeças baixas, bem baixasTheir heads were bowed ever so low
Nenhum olho estava seco enquanto sussurrávamos, adeusNot one eye was dry as we whispered, goodbye
