Full lyrics

Vou dar uma volta no passado

Pra rever o meu tempo distante

Vou brincar de criança pra ver

Se espanto essa dor cruciante

Só porque hoje sou grande

Essa coisa me aperta e me rói

Vendo o mundo de um jeito real

Não suporto essa dor que me dói


Na lembrança me embalo e vou ver

O lugar onde pequeno vivi

Aquelas brincadeiras de menino

Aquela casinha onde eu nasci

A burrica de pau de umburana

A cadência do meu berimbau

Vou jogar a minha carrapeta

Vou montar meu cavalo de pau


E depois desse belo passeio

Pelo mundo em que tive em criança

Eu não sei como vou resistir

O efeito da grande mudança

Vou baixar a cabeça sentindo

Quanto bole com a gente a idade

Depois volto pro mundo em que estou

Para me alimentar da saudade

Translation

I'm going to take a walk in the past

To revisit my distant time

I'm going to play like a child to see

If I can scare away this excruciating pain

Just because today I am grown

This thing squeezes and gnaws at me

Seeing the world in a real way

I can't bear this pain that hurts me


In memory, I rock myself and will see

The place where I lived as a child

Those boyish games

That little house where I was born

The wooden donkey made of umburana wood

The rhythm of my berimbau

I'm going to spin my top

I'm going to ride my hobby horse


And after this beautiful journey

Through the world I had as a child

I don't know how I will resist

The effect of the great change

I will lower my head feeling

How much age stirs us

Then I return to the world I am in

To feed myself on the deep longing
