Do Tempo Que (part. Paulo Massadas) Lyrics Translation in English
Michael Sullivan
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Eu sou!
I am!
Do tempo do topete, brilhantina e vaselina
From the time of the pompadour, brillantine, and vaseline
Eu sou!
I am!
Do tempo do beijinho na bochecha da menina
From the time of little kisses on the girl's cheek
Do tempo que sapato grande era sapatão
From the time when big shoes were "sapatão"
E que galinha era comida só de domingão
And when chicken was only eaten on Sundays
Do tempo que a vaca era a mulher do boi
From the time when the cow was the wife of the ox
Um dia foi
One day it was
Eu troco as bolas sem querer, mas não me leve a mal
I mix up things unintentionally, but don't take it the wrong way
Naquele tempo tudo era normal
In those times, everything was normal
Do tempo que homem que comia homem
From the time when a man who ate another man
Era só canibal
Was only a cannibal
Eu sou!
I am!
Do tempo do topete, brilhantina e vaselina
From the time of the pompadour, brillantine, and vaseline
Eu sou!
I am!
Do tempo do beijinho na bochecha da menina
From the time of little kisses on the girl's cheek
Do tempo que Roberta era nome de mulher
From the time when Roberta was a woman's name
E dar colher era entregar pra alguém o seu talher
And giving a spoon meant handing over your utensil to someone
Comer na escada era coisa de pedreiro
Eating on the stairs was something for a mason
Ocupado e apressado
Busy and hurried
Hoje parece, mas não é, ninguém mais faz segredo
Today it seems, but it's not, no one keeps secrets anymore
O que era doce já ficou meio azedo
What was sweet has turned a bit sour
Do tempo que sentar numa boneca
From the time when sitting on a doll
Era só quebrar um brinquedo
Was just breaking a toy
Hoje em dia alhos são bugalhos
These days, apples are apples
Coringa é carta fora do baralho
Joker is a card out of the deck
A mão agora entrou na contramão
Now the hand has gone against the flow
De Eva e Adão
Of Eve and Adam
Hoje em dia alhos são bugalhos
These days, apples are apples
Coringa é carta fora do baralho
Joker is a card out of the deck
A mão agora entrou na contramão
Now the hand has gone against the flow
De Eva e Adão
Of Eve and Adam
Eu sou!
I am!
Eu sou!
I am!
Do tempo do topete, brilhantina e vaselina
From the time of the pompadour, brillantine, and vaseline
Eu sou!
I am!
Do tempo do beijinho na bochecha da menina
From the time of little kisses on the girl's cheek
Do tempo que Roberta era nome de mulher
From the time when Roberta was a woman's name
E dar colher era entregar pra alguém o seu talher
And giving a spoon meant handing over your utensil to someone
Comer na escada era coisa de pedreiro
Eating on the stairs was something for a mason
Ocupado e apressado
Busy and hurried
Hoje parece, mas não é, ninguém mais faz segredo
Today it seems, but it's not, no one keeps secrets anymore
O que era doce já ficou meio azedo
What was sweet has turned a bit sour
Do tempo que sentar numa boneca
From the time when sitting on a doll
Era só quebrar um brinquedo
Was just breaking a toy
Hoje em dia alhos são bugalhos
These days, apples are apples
Comida é carta fora do baralho
Food is a card out of the deck
A mão agora entrou na contramão
Now the hand has gone against the flow
De Eva e Adão
Of Eve and Adam
Hoje em dia alhos são bugalhos
These days, apples are apples
Coringa é carta fora do baralho
Joker is a card out of the deck
A mão agora entrou na contramão
Now the hand has gone against the flow
De Eva e Adão
Of Eve and Adam
Eu sou!
I am!
Eu sou!
I am!
Eu sou!
I am!
