Full lyrics
Ela vinha numa manhã
Rachada
Pelo vento que soprou
De madrugada
No frio de uma manhã de maio
De franja na testa
Tentava esconder o pensamento
Que só pensava em mim
Ela pensava em nós
Meu cigarro clareando
A madrugada
Nosso quarto, nossa vida, nossa casa
Na beira do mangue
Na beira da lama
Na beira de Olinda
Eu nem me lembro da casinha
pequenina
Na beira do mangue
Na beira da lama
Na beira de Olinda
Perdida em 78 rotações...
Translation
She came one morning
Cracked
By the wind that blew
In the early hours
In the cold of a May morning
With bangs on her forehead
She tried to hide the thought
That only thought of me
She was thinking of us
My cigarette lighting up
The early hours
Our room, our life, our house
On the edge of the mangrove
On the edge of the mud
On the edge of Olinda
I don't even remember the little house
Tiny
On the edge of the mangrove
On the edge of the mud
On the edge of Olinda
Lost in 78 revolutions...
