Cajueiro
Papá, padabadaba, papá, padabadá
Na minha infância tinha um cajueiro
Uma mangueira, um pé de sapoti
Final de tarde dava morcego
Que acordava pra comer ali
Tinha coqueiro no mato, tinha cajá
Agora tem um condomínio lá
Tinha coqueiro no mato, tinha cajá
Agora tem um condomínio lá
Papá, padabadaba, papá, padabadá
Eu lembro tudo, lembro até da pimenteira
Da pitombeira, carambola, seriguela
E o bambuzal, a bicharada que aparecia
Trazida pela enchente do canal
E era cobra, caramujo, caranguejo demais
Agora tem um condomínio lá
Tinha coqueiro no mato, tinha cajá
Agora tem um condomínio lá
Papá, padabadaba, papá, padabadá
Construíram um shopping center
No meio da minha memória
Aterraram os guaiamuns, apagaram minha história
Hoje, parece mentira, tinha um pé de fruta pão
Ali naquele deserto de dar dó no coração
Tinha coqueiro no mato, tinha cajá
Agora tem um condomínio lá
Tinha coqueiro no mato, tinha cajá
Agora tem um condomínio lá
Papá, padabadaba, papá, padabadá
Papá, padabadaba, papá, padabadá
Cashew Tree
Dad, padabadaba, dad, padabadá
In my childhood, there was a cashew tree
A mango tree, a sapodilla tree
At dusk, bats would come out
Waking up to eat right there
There were coconut palms in the woods, there was cashew fruit
Now there's a condo over there
There were coconut palms in the woods, there was cashew fruit
Now there's a condo over there
Dad, padabadaba, dad, padabadá
I remember everything, even the chili pepper plant
The pitomba tree, starfruit, and sour sap
And the bamboo grove, the critters that showed up
Brought in by the flood from the canal
And there were snakes, snails, and crabs galore
Now there's a condo over there
There were coconut palms in the woods, there was cashew fruit
Now there's a condo over there
Dad, padabadaba, dad, padabadá
They built a shopping center
In the middle of my memories
They filled in the marshes, erased my history
Today, it seems unreal, there was a breadfruit tree
Right there in that desert that breaks my heart
There were coconut palms in the woods, there was cashew fruit
Now there's a condo over there
There were coconut palms in the woods, there was cashew fruit
Now there's a condo over there
Dad, padabadaba, dad, padabadá
Dad, padabadaba, dad, padabadá
