Prepare your heart
For the things I'm going to tell
I come from the backlands
I come from the backlands
I come from the backlands
And I may not please you

I learned to say no
See death without crying
And death, destiny, everything
Death, destiny, everything
Was out of place
I live to fix it

In the herd I was once a bull
But one day I mounted
Not for a reason of my own
Or of anyone who was with me
That any desire had
But out of necessity

From the owner of a herd
Whose cowboy died

Cowboy for a long time
Firm lasso, strong arm
Lots of cattle, lots of people
I held onto life
I followed like in a dream
And the cowboy was a king

But the world kept spinning
On the hooves of my horse
And in the dreams I was dreaming
The visions were clearing
The visions were clearing
Until one day I woke up

Then I couldn't continue
Brave lieutenant
Of cattle and people owner
Because cattle we brand
Drive, iron, fatten and kill
But with people it's different

If you don't agree
I can't apologize
I don't sing to deceive
I'm going to take my guitar
I'm going to leave you aside
I'm going to sing somewhere else

In the herd I was once a bull
Cowboy I was once a king
Not for a reason of my own
Or of anyone who was with me
And any desire had
For anything of yours
For anything of yours
Desire further than me
