English Translation

Lá onde eu morava era um rancho de madeira

Where I lived was a wooden shack

E nos pés das laranjeiras passarinhos a cantar

And at the feet of the orange trees, birds singing

E eu descalço a correr pelo gramado

And barefoot, I'd run through the lawn

Calça curta de riscado e um tirante pra amarrar

Short pants with stripes and a strap to tie


(Onde eu morava era um rancho de madeira

(Where I lived was a wooden shack

Será pouco a vida inteira para a gente se lembrar

It may seem little for a lifetime for us to remember

Quando se fala o olhar fica distante

When talking, the gaze becomes distant

Parece que nesse instante eu ainda moro lá)

It seems that at that moment, I still live there)


Lá onde eu morava se sabia que a geada

Where I lived, it was known that frost

E o cabo da inchada é uma questão de acostumar

And the handle of the hoe is a matter of getting used to

Mãos calejadas não estranha o trabalho

Calloused hands don't find work strange

Nem os pés pisando orvalho faz a gente se queixar

Nor do feet stepping on dew make us complain


Lá onde eu morava o vento era o alerta

Where I lived, the wind was the warning

Vento norte a chuva certa vento sul para esfriar

North wind meant rain, south wind to cool down

E se pousava um passarinho na janela

And if a bird landed on the window

Limpe a casa dona Amélia que visita vai chegar

Clean the house, Mrs. Amélia, for a visitor is coming
