Estrela
Gilberto Gil
Star
There will appear
A star in the sky
Every time you smile
There will fade
A star in the sky
Every time you cry
The opposite as well
Could very well happen
For a star to shine
When a tear falls
Or else
For a shooting star to throw itself
Just to see
The flower of your smile bloom
God will make
Absurd things
As long as life is like this
Like an altar
Where we celebrate
Everything He allows
There will appear
A star in the sky
Every time you smile
There will fade
A star in the sky
Every time you cry
The opposite as well
Could very well happen
For a star to shine
When a tear falls
Or else
For a shooting star to throw itself
Just to see
The flower of your smile bloom
God will make
Absurd things
As long as life is like this
Like an altar
Where we celebrate
Everything He allows
