"Child's Song" (PORTUGUESE LYRICS)
Toda vez que eu canto eu sinto
Tanto uma grande emoção
Todo dia é dia
De cantar
Cantar e ser feliz
Quando eu brinco e pulo
De alegria
De viver assim
Vou sentindo o coração
Vibrar, saltar de mim
E voar.
(ENGLISH Translation)
Every time that I sing
I feel such emotion
Every day is a day to sing…
To sing and to be happy
When I play and jump
for joy
to be alive
I feel my heart
Vibrating, (wanting) to leap out of me
And fly…
"Circus Tune" (SPANISH LYRICS)
Capturaré
un momento mas
de luz y de amor
cual niño inocente
Mágico lugar
donde el tiempo
espera
Me lanzaré
de un trapecio abismal
Recuerdos del circo
dan vueltas y vueltas
malabarismos sensación fugáz.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
I will capture
one more moment
of light and love
like an innocent child
(In) a magical place
where time waits
I throw myself
from an abysmal trapeze
(With) Memories of the circus
going round and round
Juggling... fleeting sensation.
(PORTUGUESE Translation)
Capturará
um momento mais
luz e amor
qual criança inocente
lugar mágico
onde o tempo
espera
Eu vou jogar
um trapézio abismal
Circo Memórias
voltas e voltas
malabarismos sentido fugaz
