Full lyrics
Quando eu era criança as moças me davam aquele carinho
Me abraçavam e me beijavam, cuidava do mingau pra mim
Me dava mamadeira, eu chorava pela chupetinha
Deitado no colo dela, me balançava e cantava assim
Ô ô ô menino bonito já vai dormir
Dorme neném que eu fico esperando você aqui
Fingia que dormia pra ficar no colo dela
Gostava era da bela moça que me beijava
Translation
When I was a child the young women would give me that affection
They would hug me and kiss me, they would take care of the porridge for me
They would give me a baby bottle, I would cry for the pacifier
Lying on her lap, she would rock me and sing like this
Oh oh oh pretty boy, go to sleep now
Sleep, baby, for I'll be waiting for you here
I would pretend to sleep to stay on her lap
What I liked was the beautiful young woman who would kiss me
