Xote
Sou do rio Grande com orgulho eu falo
Que por estes pagos vivo a camperiar
Desde pequeno já nasci sem luxo
Sempre fui gaúcho bem tradicional.
Tenho o meu pingo para ir nas festas
E pra fazer serestas tenho o meu violão
Noite estrelada de luar de prata
Eu faço serenata pra alegrar o coração.
Quando me lembro de uma pequena
Uma china morena, rosto encantador
Por esta china que eu senti paixão
E o meu coração também sente amor
Monto no meu pingo e saio campo a fora
Eu vou batendo espora no meu alazão
Saio cantando pras coxilhas e canhadas
Pra esquecer as magoas do meu coração.
Pra lidar nos campos saio prevenido
Não sou convencido por bom laçador
Mais no meu laço eu tenho firmeza
Atiro com certeza nas armadas que dou.
