Up there on the mountain In a strange little house All made of thatch I stopped one night on horseback For more than two clicks That I heard inside knocking I dismounted very skillfully I heard a perfect moan And a voice full of pain You, Tereza, rest I swore to take revenge For the death of my love Through the sliver of the window By a little yellow light From a lamp that was almost going out I saw a country girl on the ground And a guy had a gun in his hand lighting up I turned my horse at a gallop I scratched with spurs and whip I bled the guy's hip I went down the mountain Galloping my mate Your doctor went to call us Back to the mountain In that strange little house Your doctor and I met the scared guy Who called us to one side And told his story A long time ago I built a little ranch For my country girl to live Because that was our nest Far away from this place In the hole there in the mountain Near the moonlight I lived a happy year Without ever expecting it And a lot of time passed Thinking of being so happy But Tereza, doctor Happiness didn't want it My dream in this oiá I paid dearly for my love For the sake of another country girl She abandoned my ranch I felt my blood boil I swore to Tereza to kill I lowered my chestnut horse And I went looking for her Now I've taken revenge This is the end of a love I killed this country girl It's my story, doctor Source: Musixmatch Composers: Raul Raul Torres / Joao Batista Joao Pacifico
