Casa Velha de Sapê

You see
That abandoned house, boy
There on the side of the road
Without anyone appreciating you

For me it was a reason for joy
Every night, every day
There was always love

There it went
Distant the sadness
Everything is beautiful, how beautiful
The way God created

As long as I could, I took good care
To preserve our nest
And always maintain your value

But today I'm already old and tired
I was deceived by time
All that's left for me is pain

To see my home so dear
Abandoned forgotten
Without anyone giving you value (bis)

Oh oh oh
How hard it is to forget
My whole family together
In that dear house
Old thatched house (bis)
