Full lyrics
Nóis era sete
Fumo morrendo
Fumo morrendo
Só fiquemo eu
Não houve reza
Não houve nada
Fumo morrendo
Só fiquemo eu
José mais moderninho morreu fora de hora
Tião endefuntado tossiu tanto que morreu
Gumersino nem nasceu, morreu fora de hora
E se nóis era sete só fiquemo eu
Nóis era sete
Fumo morrendo
Fumo morrendo
Só fiquemo eu
Não houve reza
Não houve nada
Fumo morrendo
Só fiquemo eu
José mais moderninho morreu de catapora
Tião endefuntado tossiu tanto que morreu
Gumersino nem nasceu, morreu fora de hora
E se nóis era sete só fiquemo eu
Translation
There were seven of us
We went dying
We went dying
Only I remained
There was no prayer
There was nothing
We went dying
Only I remained
José, the more modern one, died untimely
Tião, the ill-fated one, coughed so much that he died
Gumersino wasn't even born, died untimely
And if there were seven of us, only I remained
There were seven of us
We went dying
We went dying
Only I remained
There was no prayer
There was nothing
We went dying
Only I remained
José, the more modern one, died of chickenpox
Tião, the ill-fated one, coughed so much that he died
Gumersino wasn't even born, died untimely
And if there were seven of us, only I remained
