A Tia Anna Veio Nos Visitar

Barry Louis Polisar

Aunt Anna Came To Our House

Aunt Anna came to our house to visit us again.
She talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and then
She told my sister to eat more, said she was getting thin,
Told my brother to cut his hair and tuck his shirt tails in.
She said we were all good children, who'd do what we were told.
She pinched me on the cheek and told me not to get a cold.

Aunt Anna came to our house to visit us again.
She talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and then
She talked about the vegetables, said they were cooked too long,
She said the house needs painting, said we should mow the lawn.
She said she couldn't stand our house, said it was such a mess.
She said she'd have a heart attack, she said she was depressed.

Aunt Anna came to our house to visit us again.
She talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and then
She said she'd never come again, she'd stay in a motel,
But she says that every time she comes as far as I can tell
The truth is that she likes all the excitement that we bring
Even though she's gonna kill me when she hears me sing

A Tia Anna Veio Nos Visitar

A tia Anna veio na nossa casa pra nos visitar de novo.
Ela falou e falou e falou e falou e falou e falou e então
Ela disse pra minha irmã comer mais, falou que ela estava magra,
Disse pro meu irmão cortar o cabelo e colocar a camisa pra dentro.
Ela disse que éramos todos bons filhos, que faríamos o que mandassem.
Ela me beliscou na bochecha e disse pra eu não pegar um resfriado.

A tia Anna veio na nossa casa pra nos visitar de novo.
Ela falou e falou e falou e falou e falou e falou e então
Ela falou sobre os legumes, disse que estavam cozidos demais,
Ela disse que a casa precisa de pintura, que deveríamos cortar a grama.
Ela disse que não aguentava nossa casa, que era uma bagunça.
Ela disse que ia ter um ataque do coração, disse que estava deprimida.

A tia Anna veio na nossa casa pra nos visitar de novo.
Ela falou e falou e falou e falou e falou e falou e então
Ela disse que nunca mais viria, que ia ficar em um motel,
Mas ela diz isso toda vez que vem, pelo que eu posso perceber.
A verdade é que ela gosta de toda a agitação que a gente traz
Mesmo que ela vá me matar quando ouvir eu cantar.
