I'd rather stay with the innocence of the children's answer

Hey guys!

Today I will restrain from writing to much. I have tons of work to do for School and I cannot think of anything to write here, once the song I translated for you already tells us everything.
This morning I had a special group riding the bus with me. A group of 6 year-olds going to a day trip with their teachers. They reminded me how simple and beautiful life really is! And this is something we should always keep in our minds!
I share with you one of my favorite songs! A beautiful Samba composed by Gonzaguinha. I also share with you our great brazilian singer Maria Bethania, giving this samba her version.
And for now, I go back to my papers and texts and all the rest... But keeping the children's answer close to my mind... Or even better: inside my heart.

Have a great Wednesday!

What is it again? (O que é, o que é?)

I'd rather stay
With the innocence
Of the children's answer
It is life! It is beautiful
And it is beautiful...

To live!
And to not be ashamed
Of being happy!
To sing, and sing, and sing
The beauty of being forever an apprentice always learning

Oh, my God!
I know, I know
That life should be way better (and it will be!)
But this will not keep me from repeating
It is beautiful, it is beautiful
And it is beautiful...

And life?
What is life?

Please, tell me, my brother

It is the beating of a hearth

It is a sweet illusion

Hê! Ho!

And life

Is it wonderful

Or is it only suffering?

Is it joy

Or is it moan?

What is it? What is it?

My brother...

Some might say

That our life

Is nothing

That it is just a rain drop, that it is only a moment

Less than a second....

Others might say

It is divine

A deep mystery

It is the creator's breath

And filled with love...

Maybe you say it is fight and pleasure

And others say life is just living

And she might even say that it is not worth living

Because she lost her love

And that life's true verb is "to suffer"...

All I know is that I trust in the lady

And in her I put my faith

We are the ones who build our lives

And make of it whatever we want...

 

Life is always wanted

No matter how wrong we are leading it

Nobody wants death

Only health and luck...

And the question remains

And our head keeps thinking about it


But for me...
I'd rather stay
With the innocence
Of the children's answer
It is life! It is beautiful
And it is beautiful...
