English Translation

Uma casinha de taipa

A mud-walled little house

Um canário cantador

A singing canary

Um fogareiro de lenha

A wood-burning stove

Um cachorro caçador

A hunting dog

Um cajueiro sombrio

A shady cashew tree

Um cenário de amor

A scene of love

Foi nela que eu nasci

It was in it that I was born

Foi nela que me criei

It was in it that I was raised

Foi nela que fiquei homem

It was in it that I became a man

Foi nela que me casei

It was in it that I got married

Foi lá que nasceu meus filhos

It's where my children were born


E é nela que morrerei

And it's in it that I will die

Essa casinha de taipa

This mud-walled little house

Herança do meu avô

An inheritance from my grandfather

Dele passou pro meu pai

Passed on to my father

Que o destino já levou

Whom destiny has already taken

Hoje só resta a saudade

Today, only the longing remains

De tudo que ele deixou

For everything he left behind
