" "Eu preparo uma canção
em que minha mãe se reconheça,
todas as mães se reconheçam,
e que fale como dois olhos. Caminho por uma rua
que passa em muitos países.
Se não me vêem, eu vejo
e saúdo velhos amigos. Eu distribuo um segredo
como quem ama ou sorri.
No jeito mais natural
dois carinhos se procuram. Minha vida, nossas vidas
formam um só diamante.
Aprendi novas palavras
e tornei outras mais belas. Eu preparo uma canção
que faça acordar os homens
e adormecer as crianças.

I'm making a song
where my mother and all mothers
will see themselves mirrored,
a song that speaks like two eyes. I'm walking on a road
that runs through many countries.
They may not see me, but I see
and salute old friends. I'm spreading a secret
like a man who loves or smiles.
Affection seeks affection
in the most natural way. My life, our lives,
form a single diamond.
I've learned new words
and made others more beautiful. I'm making a song
for waking up men
and putting children to sleep.
