Paroles et traduction Maria Bethânia feat. Lenine - O Velho Francisco / Lenda Viva

O Velho Francisco / Lenda Viva

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
Vida veio e me levou

Mandei caiá meu sobrado
Mandei mandei mandei
Mandei caiá de amarelo
Caiê caiê caiê

The Old Francisco / Living Legend

I used to enjoy a good life
I even had my bungalow
Blanket, food
Washed clothes
Life came and took me away

I myself was freed
By the hand of the Emperor
I had land, a plow
Horse and bridle
Life came and took me away

Today is visiting day
Here comes my great love
She comes all in earrings
She comes every Sunday
She smells like flowers

Whoever sees me sees not a trace
Of what saw who faced me
World champion
In arm wrestling
Life came and took me away

I read newspapers, pills, and prefaces
That I learned without a teacher
I frequented the palace
Without acting badly
Life came and took me away

Today is visiting day
Here comes my great love
She comes all in earrings
She comes every Sunday
She smells like flowers

I fathered eighteen daughters
I became a navigator
Vice-king of the islands
Of the Caribbean
Life came and took me away

I closed a business deal with China
I explored the interior
I owned a mine
Of silver, a deposit
Life came and took me away

Today is visiting day
Here comes my great love
Today they didn't give lunch, right?
I think the guy even
Didn't wash me

I think I was a deputy
I think it's all over
Almost that
I can't remember anything anymore
Life came and took me away
Life came and took me away

I had my mansion whitewashed
I had I had I had
I had it whitewashed yellow
Whitewash whitewash whitewash
