Lyrics
Eu nasci num recanto feliz
Bem distante da povoação
Foi ali que eu vivi muitos anos
Com papai mamãe e os irmãos
Nossa casa era uma casa grande
Na encosta de um espigão
Um cercado pra guardar bezerro
E ao lado um grande mangueirão
No quintal tinha um forno de lenha
E um pomar onde as aves cantava
Um coberto pra guardar o pilão
E as traias que papai usava
De manhã eu ia no paiol
Um espiga de milho eu pegava
Debuiava e jogava no chão
Num instante as galinhas juntava
Nosso carro de boi conservado
Quatro juntas de bois de primeira
Quatro cangas, dezesseis cansis
Encostados no pé da figueira
Todo sabado eu ia na vila
Fazer compras para semana inteira
O papai ia gritando com os bois
Eu na frente ia abrindo as porteiras
Nosso sítio que era pequeno
Pelas grandes fazendas cercado
Precisamos vender a propriedade
Para um grande criador de gado
E partimos pra a cidade grande
A saudade partiu ao meu lado
A lavoura virou colonião
E acabou-se meu reino encantado
Hoje ali só existe tres coisas
Que o tempo ainda não deu fim
A tapera velha desabada
E a figueira acenando pra mim
E por ultimo marcou saudade
De um tempo bom que já se foi
Esquecido em baixo da figueira
Nosso velho carro de boi
Lyrics translation
I was born in a happy nook
Far from the village
It was there that I lived many years
With daddy mom and brothers
Our house was a big house
On the slope of a spike
A fence to keep calf
And next to a large hose
In the yard had a wood-burning oven
And an orchard where birds sang
A covered to keep the pestle
And the betrayals dad used to wear
In the morning I went to paiol
A corn cob I picked up
Debuted and threw on the floor
In an instant the chickens gathered
Our ox cart conserved
Four first-class oxen joints
Four cangas, sixteen cansis
Leaning against the foot of the fig tree
Every Saturday I went to the village
Shopping for whole week
Daddy was screaming at the oxen.
I was in front opening the doors
Our place that was small
By the large farms surrounded
We need to sell the property
For a great cattle breeder
And we leave for the big city
The longing left by my side
The crop has become a colony
And my Enchanted Kingdom is over
Today there are only three things
That time has not yet ended
The old tapera collapsed
And the fig tree waving to me
And last marked longing
From a good time that's already gone
Forgotten under the fig tree
Our old ox cart
