Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

É casa pra morar

It's a house to live in

sobe, desce, pulo o muro com tapete

Up, down, jumping the wall with a carpet

pesco um peixe

I fish a fish

deixa o tempo passar

Let time go by

Lugar de ficar

Place to stay

água, canto, tanto céu estrelado tranquilo

Water, song, so much tranquil starry sky

fecho o livro

I close the book

deixa o tempo passar

Let time go by

tenta ficar acordado

Try to stay awake

faz boneco de cera

Make a wax doll

água pra molhar

Water to wet

tanta terra quem queira bobeira daquele que olha do céu

So much land that someone wants, foolishness of the one who looks from the sky

é caatinga é cascavel

It's caatinga, it's rattlesnake

borracha, feijão de corda, rede, espinho fura o dedo

Rubber, black-eyed pea, hammock, thorn pricks the finger

do sossêgo

Of the quiet

deixa o tempo passar

Let time go by
