Menino das Laranjas
Elis Regina
Orange Boy
Boy who goes to the market
Selling his oranges until they run out
Son of a single mother
Whose ignorance he has to support
It's dawn, he feels cold
Because if the basket doesn't return empty
His mother will find another orange
This son will have to suffer
Buy oranges boy and go to the market...
It's dawn, he feels cold
Because if the basket doesn't return empty
His mother will find another orange
This son will have to suffer
Buy oranges, oranges, oranges, sir
I'll even give you an extra one!
There, in the hill, we wake up early
And it's just work
Food is scarce and lots of clothes
That the city sends to wash
At dawn, he, the boy, wakes up early
Trying to find
A little to be able to live until he grows up
And life gets better
Buy oranges, sir
I'll even give you an extra one!
Buy oranges, sir
I'll even give you an extra one!
Buy oranges, oranges, oranges, sir
I'll even give you an extra one!
There, in the hill, we wake up early
And it's just work
Food is scarce and lots of clothes
That the city sends to wash
At dawn, he, the boy, wakes up early
Trying to find
A little to be able to live until he grows up
And life gets better
Buy oranges, sir
I'll even give you an extra one!
Buy oranges, sir
I'll even give you an extra one!
I'll even... give you an extra one!
Buy oranges sir, I'll give you an extra one, sir!
Buy oranges sir, sir!
