It comes and goes

O my love

Homesickness comes back

But you're not here

You couldn't sleep?

Amidst the brush

I seek those shining eyes

I open trails and walk

Without direction

All of a sudden

I see that every path

Always takes me towards your heart

Now I'm a cowboy without a herd

Riding on my desire to find you

I endure this homesickness

And go on living

Looking for your love

My life is walking

Homesickness is like a herd

It comes and goes

O my love

Homesickness comes back

But you're not here

Homesickness is like a herd

It comes and goes

O my love

Homesickness come back

But you're not here

Homesickness come back

But you're not here

Juliana...

What is it, Major?

Garoto tamed a spotted

horse today, a first-rate mount.

If you want it,

I'll give it to you.

I don't want it, Major. You know

I won't trade Ruby for anything.

"Major, Major"!

You never call me Father.

Because you're not my father.

After all this time,

isn't it like I was?

I don't know.

A father is something different.

A real father...

that you aren't.

Come, cows. Come.

Come on, let's turn 'em around.

What's gotten into you, kid?

- Wait, Rodrigo!

- Come help Daddy, lad.

Rodrigo. Rodrigo!

Take them there.

- See you later, Rodrigo!

- See you!

Blow your horn, mister!

I did it!

I don't know, I haven't decided yet.

Ceclia, inside! Gandu!

Rodrigo. You're late, as usual.

Get in there! Come on, girls.

Come on, everybody inside!

Gandu, I'm waiting for you.

Excuse me, Major.

- The herd is here.

- Bring me that cowboy sonuvagun.

Okay.

The Major wants to talk to you.

He's got a good wide rump,

nice, strong bones...

good hooves. And he's

got a temper, Major.

- All right. You're late, cowboy.

- Now you may go.

My herd should've arrived yesterday.

I don't want my cattle in enemy land.

How are you, Major? The cattle

is here, everything's proper.

If you reckon, I'm early. We agreed

I'd deliver the herd tomorrow.

I'm one day early. And I,

for one, don't make enemies.

Well, they're easy

to come by in these parts.

Cesarina, bring that coffee

already! Sit down, man.

Come! Come! Come here,

ruffian! Come, evil one!

You beast! Come, son of the devil!

Come on! Come! Come, ruffian!

Come! I like you, you demon!

Did you see? Did you see

the fury in his eyes?

That's because of my training,

my orientation.

Look, Diogo, some people come

to this world to be wild bulls.

Others are nothing but tame oxen.

- What about you, cowboy?

- What about me, Major?

Are you a wild bull or a tame ox?

I'm neither, Major.

I drive cattle.

See, Jo S? The lad here just

drives cattle. Come, you beast!

The toad jumped in the pond
