In my childhood, there was a cashew treeNa minha infância tinha um cajueiro
A mango tree, a sapodilla treeUma mangueira, um pé de sapoti
At dusk, bats would come outFinal de tarde dava morcego
Waking up to eat right thereQue acordava pra comer ali

There were coconut palms in the woods, there was cashew fruitTinha coqueiro no mato, tinha cajá
Now there's a condo over thereAgora tem um condomínio lá
There were coconut palms in the woods, there was cashew fruitTinha coqueiro no mato, tinha cajá
Now there's a condo over thereAgora tem um condomínio lá

I remember everything, even the chili pepper plantEu lembro tudo, lembro até da pimenteira
The pitomba tree, starfruit, and sour sapDa pitombeira, carambola, seriguela
And the bamboo grove, the critters that showed upE o bambuzal, a bicharada que aparecia
Brought in by the flood from the canalTrazida pela enchente do canal
And there were snakes, snails, and crabs galoreE era cobra, caramujo, caranguejo demais
Now there's a condo over thereAgora tem um condomínio lá

There were coconut palms in the woods, there was cashew fruitTinha coqueiro no mato, tinha cajá
Now there's a condo over thereAgora tem um condomínio lá

They built a shopping centerConstruíram um shopping center
In the middle of my memoriesNo meio da minha memória
They filled in the marshes, erased my historyAterraram os guaiamuns, apagaram minha história
Today, it seems unreal, there was a breadfruit treeHoje, parece mentira, tinha um pé de fruta pão
Right there in that desert that breaks my heartAli naquele deserto de dar dó no coração

There were coconut palms in the woods, there was cashew fruitTinha coqueiro no mato, tinha cajá
Now there's a condo over thereAgora tem um condomínio lá
