La Marelle (Amarelinha)
Birds on a Wire
Hopscotch
Hopscotch game
On the line you won't step
Foot in, foot out
This foot won't miss
Hopscotch game
It's for the girl to jump
Be careful not to miss
Because life is short, girl, and nothing will be taken away
The hopscotch game
Goes from the earth to the sky
Between luck and the well
You come back and it's over
Little little girl
You are here to have fun
Throw the stone well
Be careful where you put your feet
Hopscotch game
And life wants to last
There's a diamond in the belly
Be careful it might break
Tiny girl
Dizzy from crying so much
Your tears are a pond
And that's where I'll bathe
The hopscotch game
Goes from the earth to the sky
Between luck and the well
You come back and it's over
Little little girl
You are here to have fun
Throw the stone well
Be careful where you put your feet
Hopscotch game
And life wants to last
There's a diamond in the belly
Be careful it might break
Tiny girl
Dizzy from crying so much
Your tears are a pond
And that's where I'll bathe
The hopscotch game
Goes from the earth to the sky
Between luck and the well
You come back and it's over
Little little girl
You are here to have fun
Throw the stone well
Be careful where you put your feet
