Lyrics
Já gozei de boa vida
Tinha até meu bangalô
Cobertor, comida
Roupa lavada
Vida veio e me levou
Fui eu mesmo alforriado
Pela mão do Imperador
Tive terra, arado
Cavalo e brida
Vida veio e me levou
Hoje é dia de visita
Vem aí meu grande amor
Ela vem toda de brinco, vem
Todo domingo
Tem cheiro de flor
Quem me vê, vê nem bagaço
Do que viu quem me enfrentou
Campeão do mundo
Em queda de braço
Vida veio e me levou
Li jornal, bula e prefácio
Que aprendi sem professor
Freqüentei palácio
Sem fazer feio
Vida veio e me levou
Hoje é dia de visita
Vem aí meu grande amor
Ela vem toda de brinco, vem
Todo domingo
Tem cheiro de flor
Eu gerei dezoito filhas
Me tornei navegador
Vice-rei das ilhas
Da Caraíba
Vida veio e me levou
Fechei negócio da China
Desbravei o interior
Possuí mina
De prata, jazida
Vida veio e me levou
Hoje é dia de visita
Vem aí meu grande amor
Hoje não deram almoço, né
Acho que o moço até
Nem me lavou
Acho que fui deputado
Acho que tudo acabou
Quase que
Já não me lembro de nada
Vida veio e me levou
Lyrics translation
I've enjoyed the good life
Had even my bungalow
Blanket, food
Laundry
Life came and took me
I was saddled myself
By The Hand Of The Emperor
I had land, plow
Horse and flange
Life came and took me
Today is visiting day
Here Comes My great love
She comes all in earring, she comes
Every Sunday
It smells like a flower
Who sees me, sees not even bagasse
From what he saw who faced me
World champion
In arm fall
Life came and took me
I read newspaper, package leaflet and preface
That I learned without a teacher
I attended Palace
Without making ugly
Life came and took me
Today is visiting day
Here Comes My great love
She comes all in earring, she comes
Every Sunday
It smells like a flower
I begot eighteen daughters
I became a browser
Viceroy of the islands
Caribbean
Life came and took me
Closed business from China
I figured out the inside
Owned mine
Of silver, ground
Life came and took me
Today is visiting day
Here Comes My great love
Today did not give lunch, right
I think the boy even
Didn't even wash me
I think I was a deputy
I think it's all over.
Almost
I don't remember anything anymore.
Life came and took me
