O Rio [English translation]

Listen to the sound of the river, my child

Let this sound embrace you

The leaves that fall on the river, my child

Wind up in deep sea waters

If tomorrow, by chance

A joy in your heart is absent

Remember the sound of those waters

Make a prayer out of this river

Remember, my child, it passed, it will pass

This certainty, science gives us

That it will rain when the Sun gets tired

For the flowers not to disappear

For the flowers never to disappea
