Текст и перевод песни Chico Buarque - Velho Francisco - Ao Vivo

Velho Francisco - Ao Vivo

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...
Vida veio e me...
Vida veio e me levou

Velho Francisco - Live

I used to live the good life
I even had my own bungalow
Blankets, food, clean clothes
Life came and took me away
I was freed
By the hand of the Emperor
I had land, a plow, a horse and a bridle
Life came and took me away
Today is visiting day
Here comes my great love
She comes all decked out
She comes every Sunday
She smells like flowers
Whoever sees me, sees nothing
Of what those who fought me saw
World champion
In arm wrestling
Life came and took me away
I read the newspaper, the instructions and the foreword
Which I learned without a teacher
I frequented the palace
Without making a fool of myself
Life came and took me away
Today is visiting day
Here comes my great love
She comes all decked out
She comes every Sunday
She smells like flowers
I fathered eighteen daughters
I became a navigator
Viceroy of the Caribbean Islands
Life came and took me away
I closed a deal in China
I explored the backcountry
I had a silver mine, a deposit
Life came and took me away
Today is visiting day
Here comes my great love
They didn't give us lunch today, did they?
I think the guy even
Didn't wash me
I think I was a congressman
I think it's all over
I almost can't remember anything anymore
Life came and...
Life came and...
Life came and took me away
