É Tão Bom Ser Pequenino

It's so good to be little
To have a father, a mother, grandparents
To have hope in destiny
And to have someone who likes us

Come here, José Manuel
You give me the gracious idea
Of Jesus in Galilee
Playing in a garden
You have dark skin
Like the God child was
You have the same divine look
Oh, how I miss
Not being your size
It's so good to be little

Your delicate fingers
In your restless hands
Remind me of ten butterflies
Flying in the brambles
I was like you, be careful
I also ran fast
Come here, let's talk alone
About a sentimental matter
I will tell you the value
Of having a father, a mother, grandparents

Having grandparents, I affirm to you
Forgive my images
It's having old relics
And having a mother, it's having heaven
Having a father like yours
Who gives you bread and education
It's always having the sun at its peak
And the moon with nightingales
To triumph like heroes
To have hope in destiny

Do you know what hope is
Dream, illusion, faith?
You have no idea what that is
My innocent child!
You are a source in fullness
I am the river that reached the mouth
I am before you after
Oh, how I miss, miss
People doing mischief
And having someone who likes us
