Paroles et traduction Luiz Gonzaga - Aquilo Sim Que Era Vida

Aquilo Sim Que Era Vida

Aquilo sim que era vida
Aquilo sim, que vidão
Aquilo sim que era vida, seu moço
A vida lá do sertão

Plantava milho, arroz e feijão
Pescava de linha, lá no ribeirão
Domingo saía no meu alazão
Dançava uma valsa lá no matão

Lálálálálálálá, aquilo sim, que vidão

Aquilo sim que era vida, seu moço
A vida lá do sertão

De noite eu me sentava bem juntinho ao fogão
Rosa trazia o cachimbo, Creuza trazia o tição
Com a viola no peito, tirava uma canção
De hora em hora tomava um golinho de quentão

That Was Life

That was life
That sure was the big life
That was life, my dear
Life way out yonder

I planted corn, rice, and beans
Fished with a line, out yonder in the river valley
Went out riding my steed on Sundays
Danced the waltz out yonder in the backcountry

Lálálálálálálá, that sure was the big life

That was life, my dear
Life way out yonder

At night, I'd sit nice and close to the hearth
Rosa would fetch the pipe, Creuza would fetch the fire's embers
With my guitar to my chest, I'd play a song
Every hour, I'd sip a little something warm
