Full lyrics
Quando a tarde vinha ele chegava
E me ignorava de mansinho
Tinha um piano que tocava
E o meu coração em desalinho
Viajava dentro da canção
Mal a noite vinha eu calava
Esperando a morte que não vinha
Tinha meu avô que delirava
Tanto era o dinheiro que não tinha
Tão profunda sua solidão
Translation
When the afternoon came, he would arrive
And ignore me softly
He had a piano that played
And my heart in disarray
I would travel inside the song
As soon as the night came, I would quiet down
Hoping for a death that wouldn't come
My grandfather would rave
So much was the money he didn't have
So profound was his loneliness
