É Tão Bom Ser Pequenino

It's so good to be little
To have Dad, to have Mom, to have Grandparents
To have hope in Destiny
And to have someone who likes us

Old age brings setbacks
But after childhood
There are those who adore old age
To be a child again
To be a child, how proud
Of optimism and recklessness
To see everything good and divine
All hope, all Faith
While life is like this
It's so good to be little

To see everything with joy
Without delays, without hesitations
To see life in an hour
Eternity in a day
To have in mind the fantasy
Of a good that no one imagined
To believe, to dream alone
With the greatness of this World
And to go even deeper
To have Dad, to have Mom, to have Grandparents

To have a lot of delight dreaming
To wake up and have affection
To have this whole World
In the sparkle of our eyes
To live oblivious to the suffering
Of this vile and cruel Orb
To think oneself an eternal child
To suppose oneself an eternal child
And in a hopeless destiny
To have hope in Destiny

Oh misfortune, oh Longing
Causes of so much inconsistency
Give me pieces of childhood
Scraps of youth
Give me the sweet clarity
Stealing from the cruel time
I want to have my voice
To sing my past
It's so good to sing Fado
And to have someone who likes us
