lyrics

song:

...and of the sons my father had,
of the sons my father had,
I was the wildest

my only sorrow,
my only sorrow,
it not having my child by my side...


telephone call:

so, these days loads are still carried,
they're still carried, for example sugarcane...
we, we have rum production in Madeira
and we also export, we export rum
so you see around May
the amount of trucks loaded with sugarcane

sugarcane? towards Calheta
it has to be in warmer regions
and one of the sugar mills that produces the most,
that, say, transforms the sugarcane and makes rum
and those types of things, is in Porto da Cruz
but there is a time of year where you see loads of trucks
passing by with sugarcane


song:

...when I was a young man
(and everybody would repeat: aan)
I sang and all things trembled
when I was a young man
I sang and all things trembled

I sang in Caniçal
Santa Cruz shook
I sang in Caniçal
Santa Cruz shook


telephone call:

I know there is a sugar factory here, no, two
which is mostly used to make local products, I imagine
hum, I'm here beside The People's Bazar
and behind me is that place, I mean, Santo António's Factory
that makes cookies, exactly, they produce with,
with sugar from Madeira if I'm not mistaken
but it might be that that's the lowest percentage
and the rest comes from abroad

like, in Brisa, our famous Passionfruit Brisa
it's all passionfuits from Brasil, yeah
no passionfruit is from here, from Madeira
many, many years ago
it was like that for a while
but then it got to a level of production
that was so big, that there was no one
that was able to produce so many passionfruits
so they started a business with Brasil.
