O Caderno

I'll be the one to 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
Accompany you in the bimonthly tests
You'll see
I'll be a faithful confidant to you
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's to be done

I only ask you one favor
If you can
Don't forget me in some corner

I only ask you one favor
If you can
Don't forget me in some corner
