O Caderno
Chico Buarque
The Notebook
It's me who will follow you
From the first scribble to the ABC
In all the colorful drawings
I'll be there
The house, the mountain
Two clouds in the sky
And a smiling Sun on the paper
It's me who will be your classmate
Help solve your problems
Also suffer in the bimonthly tests
By your side
I'll always be your faithful confidant
If your tears wet my paper
It's me who will be your friend
I'll give you shelter
If you want
When your first rays of womanhood appear
Life will unfold on a fierce carousel
And you'll tear my paper
What is written on me
Will be kept with me
If it pleases you
Life always moves forward
What can be done?
I only ask you one favor, if you can
Don't forget me in some corner
