Teco-Teco Lyrics Translation in English

Teco, teco, teco, teco, teco

Teco, teco, teco, teco, teco

Na bola de gude era o meu viver

In the marble, that was my life

Quando criança no meio da garotada

When I was a child, among the kids

Com a sacola do lado

With the bag by my side

Só jogava p'ra valer

Only played for real

Não fazia roupa de bonecas nem tão pouco convivia

Didn't make doll clothes, nor did I socialize much

Com as garotas do meu bairro que era natural

With the girls from my neighborhood, that was natural

Subia em postes, soltava papagaio

Climbed posts, flew kites

Até meus quatorze anos era esse o meu mal

Until I was fourteen, that was my trouble

Com a mania de garota folgazã

With the habit of a carefree girl

Em toda parte que passava

Everywhere I went

Encontrava um fã

I found a fan

Quando havia festa na capela do lugar

When there was a party at the chapel in the place

Era a primeira a ser chamada para ir cantar

I was the first to be called to go sing

Assim vivendo eu vi meu nome ser falado

Living like this, I saw my name being spoken

Em todo canto, em todo lado

Everywhere, on every side

Até por quem nunca me viu

Even by those who never saw me

E hoje a minha grande alegria

And today, my great joy

É cantar com cortesia

Is to sing with courtesy

Para o povo do brasil

For the people of Brazil
