Não Chores [English translation]

Even if you're the tardiest at school

And if for that you're punished

If your friends throw you to the ground

Clench your fists, don't cry now

Life has its highs and lows, you'll see

When you grow up, you'll understand

It's much more worthwhile to laugh than cry

It is best to sing

Even if love has abandoned you

And if fate has separated you two

If your work can't pay for your bread

Hold on to hope, don't cry now

Life has its highs and lows, you'll see

When you're old, you'll understand

It's much more worthwhile to laugh than cry

It is best to sing

Even if your body has grown oh so weary

If your hair has turned white

And you're lonely without your children

Wipe away your tears, don't cry now

Life has its highs and lows, you'll see

When you're old, you'll understand

It's much more worthwhile to laugh than cry

It is best to sing

Wipe away your tears, don't cry now
