O Velho Francisco

I have enjoyed a good life
I even had my bungalow
Blanket, food
Clean clothes
Life came and took me away

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

Today is visiting day
My great love is coming
She comes all dressed up
Comes every Sunday
Smells like flowers

Whoever sees me, doesn't see a trace
Of what those who faced me saw
World champion
In arm wrestling
Life came and took me away

I read newspapers, labels, and prefaces
What 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
My great love is coming
She comes all dressed up
Comes every Sunday
Smells like flowers

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

I closed deals with China
I explored the interior
I owned a silver mine
Deposit
Life came and took me away

Today is visiting day
My great love is coming
Today they didn't give me lunch, right?
I think the boy didn't even
Wash me

I think I was a congressman
I think everything is over
Almost
I don't remember anything
Life came and took me away
