The complete lyrics for by Tião Carreiro & Pardinho, as provided by Musixmatch , are as follows:
The song tells the story of a cattleman (boiadeiro) who values his word above all else. After marrying his boss's daughter, he warns her that her long hair is his "greatest wealth" and that they would separate if she ever cut it. When she ignores his warning a month later, he follows through on his promise by taking her back to the salon to have her head shaved completely and then returning her to her father, demonstrating the rigid honor code of the sertão.
