Largo Da 2a. Feira Lyrics Translation in English
Erasmo Carlos
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
No Largo da Segunda-feira
In the square of Monday
Onde eu morei um dia
Where I once lived
Entre gatos, periquitos
Among cats, parakeets
Plantei minha folia
I planted my revelry
E era normal...
And it was normal...
Alçapões armados no meu quintal
Traps set in my backyard
Surdo e fantasia no carnaval
Deaf and fantasy in carnival
Meus remédios, minhas pipas, meus colégios
My medicines, my kites, my schools
Matoso, Praça da Bandeira
Matoso, Praça da Bandeira
Meu caldo de cana
My sugarcane juice
As entradas, as bandeiras
The entrances, the flags
De fim de semana
On weekends
E era normal...
And it was normal...
Malhação de Judas na Aleluia
Whipping of Judas on Hallelujah
As perguntas todas, banhos de cuia
All the questions, gourd baths
Minhas dores, meus pecados, meus amores
My pains, my sins, my loves
