- Mr. Diogo.

- What, Rodrigo?

I know you're a very

brave man. My dad is, too.

I know, Rodrigo.

Your dad is very brave.

I think I like you as much as

I like my dad. Is that wrong?

That's right. It's from the heart, so

it's good. We have to listen to it.

- You know what mine's tellin' me?

- No.

It's tellin' me that this is far

enough. Time for you to head back...

or you may never go back.

Time to go back, pardner.

Come on, pardner!

Rodrigo!

Hold the herd,

here comes trouble!

Spark, wait!

Rodrigo! Rodrigo!

Rodrigo! Run, Rodrigo!

Rodrigo!

Rodrigo. Rodrigo.

Can you hear me?

So? How did it go?

- Where's Jo S?

- That Diogo got him.

Darn! Well, things that happen.

- Just one thing didn't work out.

- Hey! Tell me already!

Otaclio's boy was caught

in the stampede.

You are a buncha morons!

Did it have to be a child?!

If you want something

done right, do it yourself!

It wasn't our fault, Major. We didn't

know he was gonna stand in the way.

My God, how could he?

Murderer. Murderer!

You're insane, he was just a child!

Crazy old man, you'll burn in hell!

See? It's already begun!

Don't just stand there, fools!

- Lock up that bigmouth!

- You scum! Maggot! Demon!

God's will be done.

Time moves only forward.

What's done is done.

But one thing is certain:

sooner or later, blood

will flow here at Ouro Fino.

Leggo! Leggo of me! Let me go!

Murderers!

Major!

Major! They're coming!

- Milito, organize the men.

- Yes, sir.

Come on, men! Let's hold

those cows back with gunfire!

Fire on them! Hold them back!

Move the wagons!

Look here, cowboy,

that Otaclio and that pharmacist...

put a lotta quirky ideas

into people's heads!

This is the result. And you!

You came here to work for me!

Did you have to turn your coat?

What did you folks accomplish?

About the boy...

Cowboy, you're a grown man.

You know this kinda

thing can happen.

If you let life run its course,

like it was meant to be...

none of that would've happened.

Are you afraid you'll hit me?

Well, hit me. I know your story.

You're a murderer.

You kill hardworking farmers.

Hit me. I'm not afraid to die.

I'm gonna meet my father,

who was a real man, like me...

not a coward like you!

Tame ox! Soft peasant!

What are you gonna do, lock me up

and take the key with you?

Come, son of the devil!

Come, evil one!

Come, fulfill your fate!

That's what I raised you for!

Whenever I traveled

Down Ouro Fino road

From afar I saw

The figure of a small boy

He'd run to open the gate

Then he'd always ask me

"Blow your horn, mister

I really wanna hear it"

When all the cattle had passed

And the dust cloud began to clear

I'd throw him a coin

And he'd go away leaping

"Thank you very much, cowboy

May God always be with you"

And all over the serto

I'd always blow my horn

On this life's paths

I've found my share of thorns

But none of them cut deeper

Than this thing that happened

When I was coming back

I had a kind of bad feeling

When I saw the closed gate

And the boy wasn't around

I got down from my horse

At a small ranch by the road

I saw a woman crying

And I wanted to know why

"You're too late, cowboy

Look at the cross on the road

My little baby was killed

By an ox with a heart of stone"

Around Ouro Fino's lands

I still drive wild herds

And when I get to the gate

I can even see his image

The gate's mournful squeak

Sounds just like a message

From that auburn little face

ishing me a safe journey

That small cross by the road

Never leaves my thoughts

And there I've made a vow

Which I shall never forget

Even if the beasts scatter

And I have to round them up

On that one patch of land

I won't ever blow my horn again

Living with my feet on the road

I've roamed all over the world

And I've left a piece of myself

On every place I've been

Following my path

Over this vastness

I trace my fate on the land

Without harness or boss

Go, my friend

A new day has already dawned

Go, don't be afraid

This whole world is all yours

Go, my friend

A new day has already dawned

Go, don't be afraid

This whole world is all yours

Living with my feet on the road

I didn't get neither poor nor rich

Old passions and good comrades

I've kept deep inside my chest

And when I leave this world

I'll travel light, without illusion

I'll only carry with me

The eyes of the brunette

Who stole my heart away

Go, my friend

A new day has already dawned

Go, don't be afraid

This whole world is all yours
