Cuida Com Cuidado

The little fish when it's born
Doesn't need any care at all, none
It quickly starts swimming, zigzagging
In the blue sea, without any fear

And the little bird?
The little bird when it's born
Needs mommy to take care
Only after twenty days of food in its beak
It learns to fly, learns to fend for itself

And the puppy?
The puppy when it's born
Only needs care to suckle
But after six weeks
He and his siblings
Learn the lesson of how to be a dog

And the foal?
The foal just takes a little longer
To stop being a bother
But after half a year, he's already galloping
Because now he's a horse

And the human being?
Human being?
And the human being?
Human being?
And the human being?
Oh, human being
And the human being?
Oh, oh, oh, I'll tell you

This creature takes time
It's a lot of damn work
It's never enough
Every hour, every moment
Needs a lot of care

Care to learn to walk
Care not to get hurt
Care with food
Care when it's yes or no
Care with bacteria
Care with the electrical network
Care with a distressed cry
Care with a simple mosquito

Reaches fifteen years
And the daughter brings home a boyfriend
Reaches fifteen years
And the son already has a beard
But care is still needed

Handle with care, impatience
Handle with care, loneliness
Handle with care, violence
Handle with care, dispersion
Care about bullying in school
Care about the world of drugs
Care about distance
Care about intolerance

But without paranoia, handle with affection
Without paranoia, handle the path
Without paranoia, handle with affection
Without paranoia, paying attention
Without paranoia, handle with care
Without paranoia, staying side by side

Without paranoia, handle with love
Without paranoia, handle with humor
Without paranoia, handle with affection
Without paranoia, handle the path
Without paranoia, handle with affection
Without paranoia, paying attention
Without paranoia, handle with care
Without paranoia, always side by side

Without paranoia, without paranoia
Without paranoia, without paranoia
Without paranoia, handle the little fish
Without paranoia, and the little bird
Without paranoia, handle with affection
Without paranoia, handle the path
Without paranoia, without paranoia
Without paranoia, without paranoia
Without paranoia, handle with care
Without paranoia, staying side by side
