Fui
aprendiz
de

tailor
Na

At
Amelia
the
Seamstress's
Era

She

older
than

Danada
pra
brincadeira
And
quite
the
prankster
Costurava
numa
maquina
She
sewed
on
a
machine
Singer
industrial
A
Singer
industrial
De
propósito
abria
as
pernas
On
purpose
she
would
open
her
legs
Sempre
que
dava
ao
pedal
Whenever
she
pressed
the
pedal
Eu
sentado
num
banquinho
I
sat
on
a
stool
À
frente
da
criatura
In
front
of
the
creature
Quando
ela
pedalava
When
she
pedaled
Eu
via
a
sua
costura
I
saw
her
sewing
Quando
a
agulha
partia
When
the
needle
broke
Ela
pedia:
Quinzinho
She
would
ask:
Johnny
Enfia
a
linha
na
agulha
Thread
the
needle
Que
eu
não
dou
com
o
buraquinho
I
can't
find
the
hole
Enfia
a
linha
na
agulha
Thread

needle
Que
eu
quero
costurar
I
want
to

Para
mais
fácil
entrar
To
make
it
easier
