Aquela Parede Lyrics Translation in English
Mococa e ParaísoPortuguese 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
