Night, splendid night
Let a star fall
Let it teach my children
That there is nothing more beautiful
Than to be true
To have a pure spirit
Feet planted on the ground
And I look to the future
Night, splendid night
Bring advice
It was also a breath of wind
Perhaps just a whisper
How much courage it wants from us
Following a mirage
For this wandering1 heart
That begins its journey
Wings of freedom
To live in a new day now
Wings for the soul
And to face the universe
And fly over an open sea
Toward a still uncertain tomorrow
Night, you leave your place
For a new day
Starting is always difficult
Without a return
How much hope it wants from us
To undertake a journey
Far from a world
Which sometimes holds us hostage
Wings of freedom
To live in a new day now
Wings for the soul
And to face the universe
And fly over an open sea
Towards a still uncertain tomorrow
