Colcha de Retalhos

That patchwork quilt you made
Joining piece by piece was sewn
It served for our shelter in our poverty
That patchwork quilt is well kept

Now in the rich life you're living
You'll have as a cover a satin quilt
But when the cold comes to your sick body
You'll remember the quilt and also me

I know that today you don't remember the bitter days
That together with me you did a beautiful work
And in this happy life of yours you have what you want
I know you've now forgotten the patchwork quilt

Now in the rich life you're living
You'll have as a cover a satin quilt
But when the cold comes to your sick body
You'll remember the quilt and also me
