É Tão Bom Ser Pequenino

It's So Good to Be Little

É Tão Bom Ser Pequenino

It's so good to be littleÉ tão bom ser pequenino
To have Dad, to have Mom, to have GrandparentsTer Pai, ter Mãe, ter Avós
To have hope in DestinyTer esperança no Destino
And to have someone who likes usE ter quem goste de nós

Old age brings setbacksA velhice traz revés
But after childhoodMas depois da meninice
There are those who adore old ageHá quem adore a velhice
To be a child againPara ser menino outra vez
To be a child, how proudSer menino que altivez
Of optimism and recklessnessDe optimismo e desatino
To see everything good and divineVer tudo bom e divino
All hope, all FaithTudo esperança, tudo Fé
While life is like thisEnquanto a vida assim é
It's so good to be littleÉ tão bom ser pequenino

To see everything with joyVer tudo com alegria
Without delays, without hesitationsSem delongas sem demoras
To see life in an hourVer a vida numa hora
Eternity in a dayEterninade num dia
To have in mind the fantasyTer na mente a fantasia
Of a good that no one imaginedDum bem que ninguém supôs
To believe, to dream aloneTer crença sonhar a sós
With the greatness of this WorldCo'a grandeza deste Mundo
And to go even deeperE para bem mais profundo
To have Dad, to have Mom, to have GrandparentsTer Pai, ter Mãe, ter Avós

To have a lot of delight dreamingTer muito enlevo a sonhar
To wake up and have affectionAcordar e ter carinho
To have this whole WorldTer este Mundo inteirinho
In the sparkle of our eyesNo brilho do nosso olhar
To live oblivious to the sufferingViver alheio ao penar
Of this vile and cruel OrbDeste Orbe torpe ferino
To think oneself an eternal childJulgar-se eterno menino
To suppose oneself an eternal childSupor-se eterna criança
And in a hopeless destinyE num destino sem esperança
To have hope in DestinyTer esperança no Destino

Oh misfortune, oh LongingÓ desventura, ó Saudade
Causes of so much inconsistencyCausas de tanta inconstância
Give me pieces of childhoodDai-me pedaços de infância
Scraps of youthRetalhos de mocidade
Give me the sweet clarityDai-me a doce claridade
Stealing from the cruel timeRoubando-ao tempo atroz
I want to have my voiceQuero ter a minha voz
To sing my pastP'ra cantar o meu passado
It's so good to sing FadoÉ tão bom cantar o Fado
And to have someone who likes usE ter quem goste de nós
