Full lyrics

Vamos recordar o tempo que ficou pra trás

Agora vamos recordar, porque ele não volta mais


Vovó dizia com uma pataca e meia

Ela trazia a bolsa cheia nem podia carregar

Porem agora, só indo com mil cruzeiro

Gasta-se todo o dinheiro antes mesmo de comprar


Vamos recordar o tempo que ficou pra trás

Agora vamos recordar, porque ele não volta mais


Com um cruzado se comprava uma galinha

Cinco litros de farinha, meio arrouba de feijão

Porem agora esta tudo diferente,

Nem há mais quem se aguente com o preço meu irmão

Translation

Let's remember the time that's gone by

Now let's remember, because it won't come back anymore


Grandma used to say with a pataca and a half

She'd bring a full bag, couldn't even carry it

But now, just going with a thousand cruzeiros

All the money is spent even before buying


Let's remember the time that's gone by

Now let's remember, because it won't come back anymore


With one cruzado you could buy a chicken

Five liters of flour, half an arroba of beans

But now everything is different,

No one can bear the price anymore, my brother
