Ouve o barulho do rio, meu filho
Listen to the sound of the river, my son
Deixa esse som te embalar
Let this sound rock you
As folhas que caem no rio, meu filho
The leaves that fall into the river, my son
Terminam nas águas do mar
End in the waters of the sea
Quando amanhã por acaso faltar
When tomorrow happens to be missing
Uma alegria no seu coração
A joy in your heart
Lembra do som dessas águas de lá
Remember the sound of those waters there
Faz desse rio a sua oração
Make this river your prayer
Lembra, meu filho, passou, passará
Remember, my son, it has passed, it will pass
Essa certeza, a ciência nos dá
This certainty, science gives us
Que vai chover quando o sol se cansar
That it will rain when the sun gets tired
Para que flores não faltem
So that there is no shortage of flowers
Laiá lalaiá
Laiá lalaiá
Laiá lalaiá
Laiá lalaiá
Laiá lalaiá
Laiá lalaiá
Laiá lalaiá
Laiá lalaiá
Quando amanhã por acaso faltar
When tomorrow happens to be missing
Uma alegria no seu coração
A joy in your heart
Lembra do som dessas águas de lá
Remember the sound of those waters there
Faz desse rio a sua oração
Make this river your prayer
Lembra, meu filho, passou, passará
Remember, my son, it has passed, it will pass
Essa certeza, a ciência nos dá
This certainty, science gives us
Que vai chover quando o sol se cansar
That it will rain when the sun gets tired
Para que flores não faltem jamais
So that flowers never run out
