Teco-Teco

Teco-Teco

Teco, teco, teco, teco, tecoTeco, teco, teco, teco, teco
In the marbles was my lifeNa bola de gude era o meu viver
As a kid in the neighborhoodQuando criança no meio da garotada
With my bag by my sideCom a sacola do lado
I played for realSó jogava pra valer
I didn’t make doll clothes or hang outNão fazia roupa de bonecas nem tão pouco convivia
With the girls from my block, that was just meCom as garotas do meu bairro que era natural
I climbed poles, flew kitesVovia em postes, soltava papagaio
Until I was fourteen, that was my thingAté meus quatorze anos era esse o meu mal

With the spirit of a carefree girlCom a mania de garota folgazã
Everywhere I wentEm toda parte que eu passava
I found a fanEncontrava um fã
When there was a party at the local chapelQuando havia festa na capela do lugar
I was the first to be called to singEra a primeira a ser chamada para ir cantar
Living like this, I saw my name being saidAssim vivendo eu vi meu nome ser falado
In every corner, all aroundEm todo canto, em todo lado
Even by those who never saw meAté por quem nunca me viu
And today my greatest joyE hoje a minha grande alegria
Is to sing with kindnessÉ cantar com cortesia
