Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Quando eu era pequenino

When I was little

Tinha uma linda amiguinha

I had a lovely little friend

Brincávamos de esconder

We played hide and seek

E pulava amarelinha

And hopped in hopscotch


Eu sempre dizia pra ela

I always told her

Nós vamos brincar do que você quiser

We'll play whatever you want

E ela dizia: Só de mentirinha

And she would say: Just pretend

Nós vamos brincar de marido e mulher

We'll play husband and wife


Pegava um pedaço de pano

I'd take a piece of cloth

Fazia boneca de espiga de milho

Made a doll from a corn cob

Dizia pra mim: você vai pra roça

She'd say to me: you go to the field

Eu cuido da casa e do nosso filho

I'll take care of the house and our child


Um dia a menina foi embora

One day the girl left

O tempo passou e eu sentia saudade

Time passed, and I missed her

Não a queria só de mentirinha

I didn't want her just in pretense

Queria com ela casar de verdade

I wanted to marry her for real


Fui procurar minha linda amiguinha

I went to look for my lovely little friend

Fiquei encantado com tanta beleza

I was enchanted by so much beauty

Me recebeu com muita alegria

She received me with great joy

E foi depressa buscar-me a surpresa

And quickly brought me the surprise


Saiu do quarto toda sorridente

She came out of the room all smiling

Trazendo nos braços o seu lindo filho

Carrying in her arms her beautiful child

Eu vi que o outro era o pai de verdade

I saw that the other was the real father

E eu fui o pai da boneca de milho

And I became the father of the corn cob doll
