Текст и перевод песни Israel & Rodolffo - Tapera Caída

Tapera Caída

Vasculhando rastros na memória
Refiz a história por onde passei
Veio a tona a simplicidade
Da comunidade onde me criei

Nossa casa feita de madeira
Esteia aroeira a beira da lagoa
A pinguela que gente usava
Quando a água baixava
Entranhava a canoa

Os caminhos que a gente seguia
Raramente via um carro transitar
A gente até se emocionava
Quando escutava um avião zuá

A roça tocada na meia
Era dividida com nosso patrão
Não se usava a tecnologia
Plantava e colhia com a força da mão

Do paiol ao lado do chiqueiro
Se via o mangueiro e muita criação
No pomar tinha variedade
Frutas a vontade e um engenho bão

A pequena horta produzia
Verdura sadia que dava prazer
No curral o leite era tirado
Limpo e asseado pronto pra beber

Mas na vida nada é permanente
Então por isso a gente deve aproveitar
Não prevemos o nosso amanhã
Os rumos que o destino pode nos levar

Hoje olho e me vejo no espelho
Meus olhos vermelhos da poluição
Na fazenda a tepéra caída
Igual minha vida longe do sertão

Tapera Caída

Searching through the traces in my memory
I've recreated the story of where I've been
The simplicity has come to light
Of the community where I grew up

Our home made of wood
Aroeiras and lakeside
The footbridge that people used
When the water went down
They would go out in the canoe

The paths that we followed
Rarely did we see a car pass by
We would even get excited
When we heard the sound of a plane

The crops grown in the middle
Were divided with our boss
Technology wasn't used
We planted and harvested with the strength of our hands

From the barn next to the pigsty
You could see the mango tree and many animals
In the orchard there was variety
Fruit in abundance and a good old still

The small garden produced
Healthy vegetables that were a pleasure
In the corral, the milk was collected
Clean and ready to be drunk

But nothing in life is permanent
That's why we must make the most of it
We can't predict our tomorrow
The directions that destiny may take us

Today I look and see myself in the mirror
My eyes red from pollution
On the farm, the hut has fallen
Like my life far from the countryside
