Canto da Rainha
Beth Carvalho
Queen's Chant
(Trying)
Trying to forget life's bitterness
One day I left
And managed to disguise my loneliness
Because I discovered something more than inspiration
When I heard Ivone sing
And saw all the poetry hovering in the air
Her singing entered my life
And did as it pleased
Today I can even say
Samba is my roots
Those born to dream and sing
And have a childlike smile
Can nurture hope in every corner
And I discovered what it is to live
And it's not a dream to see
The fruit of so much cruelty disappear
If the whole world listens
Ivone singing at dawn
(But look)
Look how the flower lights up
If the whole world listens
Ivone singing at dawn
Tiê, tiê
Look there, oxá
If the whole world listens
Ivone singing at dawn
(Believe)
I don't believe
If the whole world listens
Ivone singing at dawn
(Freedom)
Freedom
If the whole world listens
Ivone singing at dawn
Power of imagination, go ahead
If the whole world listens
Ivone singing at dawn
(My dream)
My dream, my dream
If the whole world listens
Ivone singing at dawn
