Текст и перевод песни Roberto Ribeiro feat. Clara Nunes - Coisa da Antiga

Coisa da Antiga

Na tina, vovó lavou, vovó lavou
A roupa que mamãe vestiu quando foi batizada
E mamãe, quando era menina
Teve que passar, teve que passar
Muita fumaça e calor no ferro de engomar

E mamãe, quando era menina
Teve que passar, teve que passar
Muita fumaça e calor no ferro de engomar

Hoje mamãe me falou de vovó, só de vovó
Disse que no tempo dela era bem melhor
Mesmo agachada na tina e soprando no ferro de carvão
Tinha-se mais amizade e mais consideração

Disse que naquele tempo
A palavra de um mero cidadão
Valia mais que hoje em dia uma nota de milhão
Disse afinal que o que é de verdade
Ninguém mais hoje liga
Isso é coisa da antiga, oi, na tina...

Na tina, vovó lavou, vovó lavou
A roupa que mamãe vestiu quando foi batizada
E mamãe, quando era menina
Teve que passar, teve que passar
Muita fumaça e calor no ferro de engomar

E mamãe, quando era menina
Teve que passar, teve que passar
Muita fumaça e calor no ferro de engomar

Hoje o olhar de mamãe marejou, só marejou
Quando se lembrou do velho, o meu bisavô
Disse que ele foi escravo
Mas não se entregou à escravidão
Sempre vivia fugindo e arrumando confusão

Disse pra mim
Que essa história do meu bisavô, negro fujão
Devia servir de exemplo a esses nego pai João
Disse afinal que o que é de verdade
Ninguém mais hoje liga
Isso é coisa da antiga, oi, na tina...

Na tina, vovó lavou, vovó lavou
A roupa que mamãe vestiu quando foi batizada
E mamãe, quando era menina
Teve que passar, teve que passar
Muita fumaça e calor no ferro de engomar

E mamãe, quando era menina
Teve que passar, teve que passar
Muita fumaça e calor no ferro de engomar

E mamãe, quando era menina
Teve que passar, teve que passar
Muita fumaça e calor no ferro de engomar

E mamãe, quando era menina
Teve que passar, teve que passar
Muita fumaça e calor no ferro de engomar...

Ancient Thing

In the tub, Grandma washed, Grandma washed
The clothes that Mother wore when she was baptized
And Mother, when she was a girl
Had to iron, had to iron
A lot of smoke and heat from the iron

And Mother, when she was a girl
Had to iron, had to iron
A lot of smoke and heat from the iron

Today, Mother told me about Grandma, only about Grandma
Said that in her time, things were a lot better
Even hunched over the tub and blowing the iron with coal
There was more friendship and more consideration

She said that in those days
The word of a mere citizen
Was worth more than a million dollar bill today
She said that after all, what is true
No one cares about anymore
That's an ancient thing, hey, in the tub...

In the tub, Grandma washed, Grandma washed
The clothes that Mother wore when she was baptized
And Mother, when she was a girl
Had to iron, had to iron
A lot of smoke and heat from the iron

And Mother, when she was a girl
Had to iron, had to iron
A lot of smoke and heat from the iron

Today, Mother's eyes welled up, just welled up
When she remembered the old man, my great-grandfather
She said that he was a slave
But he didn't surrender to slavery
He was always running away and causing trouble

She told me
That this story of my great-grandfather, the runaway slave
Should serve as an example to those Uncle Toms
She said that after all, what is true
No one cares about anymore
That's an ancient thing, hey, in the tub...

In the tub, Grandma washed, Grandma washed
The clothes that Mother wore when she was baptized
And Mother, when she was a girl
Had to iron, had to iron
A lot of smoke and heat from the iron

And Mother, when she was a girl
Had to iron, had to iron
A lot of smoke and heat from the iron

And Mother, when she was a girl
Had to iron, had to iron
A lot of smoke and heat from the iron

And Mother, when she was a girl
Had to iron, had to iron
A lot of smoke and heat from the iron...
