Meus Tempos de Criança [English translation]

I would give away anything I had

To return to my childhood days.

I don't know what for we grow up

If this remembrance does not leave us.

On Mondays, mass on the mother church

On the little town where I was born.

Alas, my God, I was so happy

Back then on my little Mirahy.

Oh how I miss the little teacher

Who taught me the ABC's

Where might be little Mary,

My first love, where might she be?

I just like all the other children

How many pranks we would make...

Button football on the pavement...

I was happy and I didn't know it.
