Essa ladeira
This slope
Que ladeira é essa?
What slope is this?
Essa é a ladeira da preguiça
This is the slope of laziness
Essa ladeira
This slope
Que ladeira é essa?
What slope is this?
Essa é a ladeira da preguiça
This is the slope of laziness
Preguiça que eu tive sempre
Laziness that I always had
De escrever para a família
To write to the family
E de mandar conta pra casa
And send a bill home
Que esse mundo é uma maravilha
That this world is a wonder
E pra saber se a menina
And to find out if the girl
Já conta as estrelas
Already count the stars
E sabe a segunda cartilha
And you know the second primer
E pra saber se o menino
And to find out if the boy
Já canta cantigas
Already singing songs
E já não bota mais a mão na baguilha
And don't put your hand in the bag anymore
E pra falar do mundo falo uma besteira
And to talk about the world I speak nonsense
Fomenteira é uma ilha
Fomenteira is an island
Onde se chega de barco, mãe
Where can you get there by boat, mom?
Quem nem lá, na ilha do medo
Who even there, on the island of fear
Que nem lá, na ilha do frade
Like there, on friar island
Quem nem lá, na ilha de maré
Who even there, on the tide island
Que nem lá salina das margaridas
Like the salt marsh of daisies
Essa ladeira
This slope
Que ladeira é essa?
What slope is this?
Essa é a ladeira da preguiça
This is the slope of laziness
Ela é de hoje
She is from today
Ela é desde quando
She has been since when
Se amarrava cachorro com linguiça
If you tied a dog with sausage
