Lyrics and translation Dudu Nobre - Tempo de Don Don

Tempo de Don Don

No tempo que Dondon jogava no Andaraí,
Nossa vida era mais simples de viver,
Não tinha tanto miserê, nem tinha tanto tititi,
No tempo que Dondon jogava no Andaraí, (no tempo...)
No tempo que Dondon jogava no Andaraí

Propaganda era reclame e ambulância era dona assistência,
Mancada era um baita vexame e pornografia era só saliência,
Sutiã chamava-se porta-seios, revista pequena gibi, iiii...
No tempo que Dondon jogava no Andaraí,
No tempo que Dondon jogava no Andaraí,

Rock se chamava fox, e tiéti era mossa fanática,
O que hoje se diz que é xerox, chamava-se então de cópia fotostática,
Motorista era sempre chofer, cachaça era parati, iiii...
No tempo que Dondon jogava no Andaraí,
No tempo que Dondon jogava no Andaraí,

22 era demente, minha casa era meu bangalô,
A tama era soco urgente, todo cana duro era investigador,
Malandro esticava o cabelo, mulher fazia misampli, xiii...
No tempo que Dondon jogava no Andaraí,
No tempo que Dondon jogava no Andaraí,

Ortifruti era quitanda, jeans era só calça Lee, diz aí:
No tempo que Dondon jogava no Andaraí, no tempo que Dondon jogavano Andaraí,
Loteria era contravensão, muleque pequeno guri, segue por ai.
No tempo que Dondon jogava no Andaraí, no tempo que Dondon jogavano Andaraí,

Tempo de Don Don

My love, when Dondon played for Andaraí,
Our life was much simpler to live,
There was not so much misery, nor so much gossip,
In the days when Dondon played for Andaraí, (back in the day...)
Back when Dondon played for Andaraí

Advertising was called commercials and ambulance was called "Dona Assistência",
A mistake was a big embarrassment and pornography was just naughtiness,
A bra was called a breast holder, small magazine was a comic book, my dear...
When Dondon played for Andaraí,
When Dondon played for Andaraí,

Rock was called fox, and a fangirl was a fanatic fan,
What is called xerox today, was then called a photostatic copy,
A driver was always a chauffeur, cachaça was parati, my dear...
When Dondon played for Andaraí,
When Dondon played for Andaraí,

22 was crazy, my house was my bungalow,
A punch was an urgent blow, every tough cop was an investigator,
A gangster straightened his hair, a woman got implants, my dear...
When Dondon played for Andaraí,
When Dondon played for Andaraí,

A fruit and vegetable store was a greengrocer's, jeans were just Lee jeans, tell me:
When Dondon played for Andaraí, back when Dondon played for Andaraí,
Lottery was illegal, a kid was a guri, just keep going.
When Dondon played for Andaraí, back when Dondon played for Andaraí,
