João [English translation]

There's so many people, but only have a notion

Of how to build up a nation

It's not with monuments

Or cannonballs

It's when a breeze hits our respiration

And comes into the wisdom of João

That dedicates all his effort

And love to his talent

To air the corners of the song

And give a meaning to our sensation

A million particles in the air

Turn all around in a vibration

To give us their blessing

To lift us from the ground

As if the Earth's rotation

Were

This voice and this violin

When a single person

In silence, improves,

The whole crowd

Listens to their heart

And becomes a civilization
