Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Achei a parede da antiga morada

Found the wall of the old home

Toda rascunhada de giz e carvão

All scribbled with chalk and charcoal

Lembrei dos irmãos da nossa turminha

Remembered the brothers from our gang

E a nossa mãezinha ensinando a lição

And our little mother teaching the lesson

Parede que sempre papai repintava

Wall that Dad always repainted

Mamãe se esforçava pra gente aprender

Mom made an effort for us to learn

Se raspar a tinta por baixo aparece

If you scrape the paint underneath appears

Cebola com S e sapo com C

Onion with S and toad with C


Era nossa lousa aquela parede

That wall was our blackboard

Nós tínhamos sede de ler e escrever

We were thirsty to read and write

Pois a minha letra eu reconheci

Because I recognized my handwriting

E chorei de rir com que pude ler

And I laughed and cried at what I could read

Quatro vezes quatro na frente dezoito

Four times four in front, eighteen

E dez menos oito ali estava três

And ten minus eight, there it was, three

Agora crescido correndo a vivência

Now grown up, experiencing life

Eu vejo a inocência que o tempo desfez

I see the innocence that time has undone
