Full lyrics
Ai que saudade danada,
Daquela casa caiada
Onde eu nasci
Passou-se todo esse tempo
Eu fiquei bem grande, mais nunca esqeuci
Daquela goiabeira la no fundo do quintal
Fazia aquela sombra pra gente brincar
Quando eu me lembro dela
Eita vida boa, la do meu lugar
Eu ate esquecia, mais passava o dia distraidamente
Jogando pelada, e a meninada ficava contente
E a minha mãezinha, com todo carinho, levava comida pra me alimentar
Ai que saudade doida, paro por aqui, se não eu vou chorar
Translation
Oh, what a terrible longing,
For that whitewashed house
Where I was born
All this time has passed
I grew up, but I never forgot
That guava tree in the back of the yard
It made that shade for us to play
When I remember it
What a good life, there in my place
I even forgot, but I spent the day absentmindedly
Playing soccer, and the kids were happy
And my dear mother, with all her affection, brought food to feed me
Oh, what a crazy longing, I'll stop here, or I'll cry
