| Era o meu viver | It was my life |

| No fazia roupas de boneca | I didn't make doll clothes |
| Nem (e) to pouco convivia | Neither (and) did not live together |

| Que era natural | that it was natural |
| (vivia) subia em postes, soltava papagaio | (lived) climbed on poles, released kites |
| At meus quatorze anos | Until my fourteen years |

| Era a primeira a ser chamada para ir cantar | She was the first to be called to sing |
| Assim vivendo eu vi meu nome ser falado | Living like this I saw my name spoken |
| Em todo canto em todo lado | In every corner on everywhere |
| At por quem nunca me viu | Even for those who have never seen me |
| E hoje a minha grande alegria | And today my great joy |
