Original text with translation
Clara Nunes
Na tina, vovó lavou, vovó lavou
A roupa que mamãe vestiu quando foi batizada
E mamãe quando era menina teve que passar, teve que passar
Muita fumaç a e calor no ferro de engomar
Hoje mamãe me falou de vovó só de vovó
Disse que no tempo dela era bem melhor
Mesmo agachada na tina e soprando no ferro de carvão
Tinha-se mais amizade e mais consideração
Disse que naquele tempo a palavra de um mero cidadão
Valia mais que hoje em dia uma nota de milhão
Disse afinal que o que é de verdade
NinguÃ(c)m mais hoje liga
Isso é coisa da antiga, ai na tina
Hoje o olhar de mamãe marejou só marejou
Quando se lembrou do velho, o meu bisavô
Disse que ele foi escravo mas não se entregou à escravidão
Sempre vivia fugindo e arrumando confusão
Disse pra mim que essa história do meu bisavô, negro fujão
Devia servir de exemplo a «Esses nego pai João»
Disse afinal que o que é de verdade
NinguÃ(c)m mais hoje liga
Isso é coisa da antiga, oi na tina
Na tina, grandma washed it, grandma washed it
The clothes Mom wore when she was baptized
And mama and when she was a girl had to go, she had to go
Lots of smoke and heat in the iron
Today mom told me about grandma only grandma
She said her time was so much better
Even crouching in the water and blowing on the coal iron
There was more friendship and more consideration
She said that at that time the word of a mere citizen
A million dollar bill was worth more than today
She said after all that what is real
Nobody else calls today
This is an old thing, ai na tina
Today mommy's look was just watery
When she remembered the old man, my great-grandfather
She said he was a slave but didn't give himself up to slavery
She was always running away and making a mess.
He told me that this story about my great-grandfather, runaway black
She should serve as an example to «Esses nego pai João»
Said after all that what is real
Nobody else calls today
This is an old thing, oi na tina
