Full lyrics

Eu lembro daquela menina subindo ladeiras

Ladeiras de frevo e preguiça da velha Marim

Ladeiras tão carnavalescas, escorregadeiras

Que na terça-feira jogaram você sobre mim

Ladeiras sugerem saudade, minha companheira

Ladeiras que só interessam a ti e a mim

Eu subo e descubro

Que a vida é feito ladeiras

No seu sobe e desce contínuo

Princípio e o fim

Perdi um amor tão bonito naquela ladeira

Que vai dar no Alto da Sé

No Bar Querubim

E hoje a saudade me aperta de toda maneira

Ladeira da Misericórdia tem pena de mim

Ladeira da Sé, ladeira preguiçosa

Ladeira do amparo, da Misericórdia

Ladeiras, ladeiras...

Translation

I remember that girl climbing hills

Hills of frevo and laziness of old Marim

Hills so carnival-like, slippery

That on Tuesday they threw you on me

Hills suggest longing, my companion

Hills that only interest you and me

I climb and discover

That life is made of hills

In its continuous up and down

Beginning and end

I lost such a beautiful love on that hill

That leads to Alto da Sé

At Bar Querubim

And today the longing squeezes me in every way

Hill of Mercy has pity on me

Hill of Sé, lazy hill

Hill of Amparo, of Mercy

Hills, hills...
