The sights I see riding the breeze
Have turned into a shimmering glass chariot
The vast sky spreads its wings before us
We can fly, yes, we can fly!
Castles built in the heart sway with delight
We are being born all over again
What else do we need? My heart just longs to play
Let us travel to towns we have never seen
Oh my dear, my sweet little one,
My darling princess!
Oh beautiful, my little beauty,
My precious little butterfly!
Oh my dear, my sweet little one,
My darling princess!
Oh beautiful, my little beauty,
My precious little butterfly!
A humble plantain tree and a poor man like me,
Live only for your sake
With your eyes and your sweet words,
I will sit and talk for hours
Resting your tiny shoulders on mine,
My little goddess in her skirt!
If you ever wander away from me,
My whole world will collapse
Between you and me,
Who else could ever stand?
You are the precious pupil resting between my eyelids,
A divine chariot gifted by God!
Oh my dear, my sweet little one,
My darling princess!
Oh beautiful, my little beauty,
My precious little butterfly!
Oh my dear, my sweet little one,
My darling princess!
Oh beautiful, my little beauty,
My precious little butterfly!
Just for your playful smile,
I asked the world for everything
If tears fall like rain from your eyes,
I simply cannot go on living
Savory treats or sweets,
Whatever you want, my child,
Even if it costs hundreds,
Your father will get it all for you
In the jingle of bangles and anklets,
You are a flower blooming with joy!
Even if the whole world rolls away,
You are my one and only family in the end
Oh my dear, my sweet little one,
My darling princess!
Oh beautiful, my little beauty,
My precious little butterfly!
Oh my dear, my sweet little one,
My darling princess!
Oh beautiful, my little beauty,
My precious little butterfly!
The sights I see riding the breeze
Have turned into a shimmering glass chariot
The vast sky spreads its wings before us
We can fly, yes, we can fly!
Castles built in the heart sway with delight
We are being born all over again
What else do we need? My heart just longs to play
Let us travel to towns we have never seen
Whether it is right or wrong,
Without uttering a word of judgment,
Every little word you speak,
I will listen to with all my heart
God and a child, both
Walk on the very same path
Even more than God,
You are a comforting mother's home to me
