Full lyrics
a vida da minha sogra
É dizer que sabe nadar
Um dia viu um riacho
E inventou de atravessar
A correnteza estava forte
Pegou a velha e levou
Quando ela pediu socorro
O seu netinho gritou
Corre gente, vem gente
Para acurdir minha avó que o riacho levou
A velha ia se afogando,
Ninguém ia lhe salvar
Tinha mais de mil pessoa
Nenhum sabia nadar
Nisso jogaram uma bóia
A velha se agarrou
Mas o pobrezinho do netinho
Gritando continuou
Translation
My mother-in-law's life
Is saying she knows how to swim
One day she saw a stream
And decided to cross it
The current was strong
It caught the old woman and carried her away
When she asked for help
Her little grandson shouted
Run people, come people
To help my grandma who the stream carried away
Run people, come people
To help my grandma who the stream carried away
The old woman was drowning,
No one was going to save her
There were more than a thousand people
None of them knew how to swim
Then they threw a buoy
The old woman grabbed on
But the poor little grandson
Kept shouting
Run people, come people
To help my grandma who the stream carried away
