O Lelo

Where are you going LeloPra onde vas Lelo
with an iron hoopco aro de ferro
on the day that breaksno día que fai
early in the morning.de mañá cedo.
And a new satchelE un cabás novo
and some old books,e uns libros vellos,
in the muddy yearsnos zocos anos
filled with slush.de lama cheos
I will be someone elseVou a sere outro
with that knife,pra aquil cortello,
from school days,de días de escola,
this is the first one.iste é o primeiro.
I will studyHei estudiar
