Portuguese term or phrase: se me ia ficando em cima
Ó Dóri se o médico do coração deixar vou para a ginástica do Ateneu, sofria de angina do peito, coitado, para subir as escadas era uma desgraça, desatava logo a arfar, sei mais de quantas vezes se me ia ficando em cima, Ó Dóri deixa lá que tens aqui o teu Riquinho, o Mendes chamava-se Reinaldo, Reinaldo da Conceição Mendes mas eu tratava-o por Riquinho porque ele gostava
