Canção da Criança
Francisco Alves
Children's Song
Playing, the boy of today marches.
Fighting, the boy of tomorrow will march.
Carefree children of this Child-Brazil,
whose glories will be reaped by the great men
who will dominate the Giant-Brazil
this grand Brazil that I sing about,
that the children of Lazarus House
will happily sing, in hope
of victories and joys.
Happy child, who lives singing
delightfully rocking their childish dream
oh my good Jesus, who leads everyone
look at the children of our Brazil!
Happy child, who lives singing
delightfully rocking their childish dream
oh my good Jesus, who leads everyone
look at the children of our Brazil!
Children with joy
like a flock of swallows
saw Jesus saying:
Come to me, little children!
Today from the heavens in a gesture
the angels say amen
because Jesus of Nazareth
was a child too!
Happy child, who lives singing
delightfully rocking their childish dream
oh my good Jesus, who leads everyone
look at the children of our Brazil!
Happy child, who lives singing
delightfully rocking their childish dream
oh my good Jesus, who leads everyone
look at the children of our Brazil!
Children with joy
like a flock of swallows
saw Jesus saying:
Come to me, little children!
Today from the heavens in a gesture
the angels say amen
because Jesus of Nazareth
was a child too!
Happy child, who lives singing
delightfully rocking their childish dream
oh my good Jesus, who leads everyone
look at the children of our Brazil!
Happy child, who lives singing
delightfully rocking their childish dream
oh my good Jesus, who leads everyone
look at the children of our Brazil!
