Lyrics of Cuando Era Mía Mi Vieja - Leopoldo Federico, Julio Sosa

Cuando Era Mía Mi Vieja (original)

Quando Era Minha Meu Velha
Vizinha, não me faça caso
Nem olhe com desconfiança
Se faz momento que a passo
Parado frente a sua casa
Ao vê-la a você me parece
Que está minha mama na grade
Porque esta casa era minha
Quando era minha minha velha…
O bairro está transformado
E hoje vejo, ao chegar de longe
Que só nele não mudou
A casita dos velhos
Se até a grade de ferro
Desde ali parece falar-me
E você me olhar e seu cachorro
Me ladra como pa´jogar-me…
Vizinha, se você soubesse
Agora sou um estranho
No entanto, então era
Do bairro… mas faz anos
Então, quando minha velha
Era a dona de casa
Toda esta casa era minha
Porque era minha minha velha

(translation)

When I Was My Old Man
Neighbor, don't pay attention to me
Don't even look suspiciously
If it's time that I step by
Standing in front of your house
When I see you, you seem to me
That my breast is on the grid
Because this house was mine
When I was my old lady...
The neighborhood is transformed
And today I see, when arriving from afar
That only in him has not changed
The old man's house
Up to the iron railing
From there it seems to speak to me
And you look at me and your dog
Bark at me like pa´play me...
Neighbor, if you knew
Now I'm a stranger
However, then it was
From the neighborhood... but it's been years
So when my old
It was the housewife
This whole house was mine
because it was my old lady
