Full lyrics
Aquela colcha de retalhos que tu fizeste
Juntando pedaço em pedaço foi costurada
Serviu para nosso abrigo em nossa pobreza
Aquela colcha de retalhos está bem guardada
Agora na vida rica que estas vivendo
Terás como agasalho colcha de cetim
Mas quando chegar o frio no teu corpo enfermo
Tu hás de lembrar da colcha e também de mim
Eu sei que hoje não se lembra dos dias amargos
Que junto de mim fizestes um lindo trabalho
Se nessa sua vida alegre tem o que queres
Eu sei que esqueceste agora a colcha de retalhos
Agora na vida rica que estas vivendo
Terás como agasalho colcha de cetim
Mas quando chegar o frio no teu corpo enfermo
Tu hás de lembrar da colcha e também de mim
Translation
That patchwork quilt that you made
Joining piece by piece, it was sewn together
It served as our shelter in our poverty
That patchwork quilt is well kept
Now in the rich life that you are living
You will have a satin quilt as warmth
But when the cold arrives in your sick body
You will remember the quilt and also me
I know that today you don't remember the bitter days
That together with me you did a beautiful work
If in this happy life of yours you have what you want
I know that you have now forgotten the patchwork quilt
Now in the rich life that you are living
You will have a satin quilt as warmth
But when the cold arrives in your sick body
You will remember the quilt and also me
