English Translation

Tá vendo aquela casinha de taipa seu moço

Do you see that mud house, sir?

Foi lá onde eu nasci e me criei

It's where I was born and raised

A seca me obrigou a ir embora passei uns anos lá fora

The drought forced me to leave, spent some years out there

Senti saudade voltei

I missed it, so I came back


Coitadinha, tão sozinha abandonada

Poor thing, so lonely and abandoned

Sem madeira destelhada o cupim se aproveitou

Without wood, the termites took advantage

O capim tomou conta do oitão

The grass took over the yard

Onde eu jogava o pião com papai meu professor

Where I used to play marbles with my dad, my teacher


Não encontrei o meu cavalo de pau

I couldn't find my stick horse

A porteira do curral com o tempo se acabou ou, ou

The corral gate, with time, fell apart, oh, oh

Com o tempo se acabou, com o tempo se acabou ou, ou

Fell apart with time, fell apart with time, oh, oh

Com o tempo se acabou

Fell apart with time


Ah, se Deus do céu fizesse o tempo voltar

Ah, if God from heaven could turn back time

Como criança eu iria aproveitar

As a child, I would take advantage of it

As coisas lindas que no passado eu não fiz

The beautiful things I didn't do in the past


Juro seu moço, daria tudo pra voltar a ser feliz

I swear, sir, I would give anything to be happy again

Juro seu moço, daria tudo pra voltar a ser feliz

I swear, sir, I would give anything to be happy again
