La Marelle (Amarelinha)

Hopscotch gameJogo d'amarelinha
On the line you won't stepNa linha não vai pisar
Foot in, foot outPé dentro pé fora
This foot won't missEsse pé não vai errar

Hopscotch gameJogo d'amarelinha
It's for the girl to jumpÉ pra menina pular
Be careful not to missCuidado pra não errar
Because life is short, girl, and nothing will be taken awayQue a vida é curta, menina, e nada se vai levar

The hopscotch gameLe jeu de la Marelle
Goes from the earth to the skyVa de la terre jusqu'au ciel
Between luck and the wellEntre la chance et le puits
You come back and it's overTu reviens et c'est fini

Little little girlPetite petite fille
You are here to have funTu es là pour t'amuser
Throw the stone wellLance bien la pierre
Be careful where you put your feetPrends garde où tu mets tes pieds

Hopscotch gameJogo d'amarelinha
And life wants to lastE a vida quer durar
There's a diamond in the bellyTem um diamante no umbigo
Be careful it might breakCuidado pode quebrar

Tiny girlMenina pequeninha
Dizzy from crying so muchTonta de tanto chorar
Your tears are a pondTeu choro é uma lagoa
And that's where I'll batheE é lá que eu vou me banhar
