Rei Do Gado Lyrics in English by Tonico e Tinoco
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Rei Do Gado by Tonico e Tinoco from Portuguese to English.
Num bar de Ribeirão Preto eu vi com meus olhos esta passagem
In a bar in Ribeirão Preto I saw this passage with my own eyes
Quando champanha corria a rodo, nas altas rodas da grã-finagem
When champagne flowed freely, in the high circles of the big money
Nisso chegou um peão trazendo na testa o pó da viagem
Then a pedestrian arrived carrying the dust of his journey on his forehead
Pediu uma pinga para o garçom, que era pra rebeter a friagem
He asked the waiter for a drink, which was to counteract the cold
Levantou um almofadinha e disse pro dono não tenho fé
He raised a fop and said to the owner I have no faith
Quando um caboclo que não se enxerga, num lugar desses vem por
When a caboclo who cannot be seen, in a place like that, comes by
Os pés

Senhor que é o dono da casa não deixe entrar um homem
Sir, who is the owner of the house, don't let a man in

Principalmente nessa ocasião que está presente o rei do café

Foi uma salva de palmas gritaram vivas pro fazendeiro

Que tem um milhão de pé de café por este rico chão brasileiro
There are a million coffee trees on this rich Brazilian soil
O seu nome é conhecido até no mercado dos estrangeiros
His name is known even in the foreign market
Por tanto veja que este ambiente não é pra qualquer tipo
Therefore, remember that this environment is not for everyone

Com um modo muito cortês respondeu o peão pra rapaziada
In a very courteous manner, the pedestrian replied to the boys
Esta riqueza não me assusta topo em aposta qualquer parada
This wealth doesn't scare me top bet any stop
Cada pé do seu café eu amarro um boi da minha boiada
Every tree in your coffee I tie an ox from my herd
Pra vocês tudos isso eu garanto que ainda sobra boi na invernada
For you all of this, I guarantee that there will still be plenty of ox in the winter
Foi um silêncio profundo o peão deixou o povo mais pasmado
It was a profound silence, the pedestrian left the people more astonished
Pagando a pinga com mil cruzeiro disse ao garçom pra guardar o
Paying for the drink with a thousand cruises, I told the waiter to keep the

Quem quiser saber meu nome que não se faça de arrogado

È só chegar lá em Andradina e perguntar pelo rei do gado
