[English]

I want to talk

About one thing

Guess where it walks

It must be inside the heart

Or walking through the air

It could be right here beside us

Much closer than we think

The leaf of youth

Is the right name

Of this love

Its moments have already been pruned

Its destiny has been diverted

Your smile

Of a child

How many times it hid

But hope renews itself

A new dawn every day

And we must take care of the sprout

So that life

Gives us flowers

Flowers and

Fruits

Heart of a student

We must take care of life

We must take care of the world

Look after friendship

Joy and many dreams

Scattered along the way

Green

Plant and feeling

Leaves

Heart

Youth

And faith

...

[Portuguese]

Quero falar

De uma coisa

Adivinha onde ela anda

Deve estar dentro do peito

Ou caminha pelo ar

Pode estar aqui do lado

Bem mais perto que pensamos

A folha da juventude

É o nome certo

Desse amor

Já podaram seus momentos

Desviaram seu destino

Seu sorriso

De menino

Quantas vezes se escondeu

Mas renova-se a esperança

Nova aurora cada dia

E há que se cuidar do broto

Pra que a vida

Nos dê flor

Flor e

Fruto

Coração de estudante

Há que se cuidar da vida

Há que se cuidar do mundo

Tomar conta da amizade

Alegria e muito sonho

Espalhados no caminho

Verdes

Planta e sentimento

Folhas

Coração

Juventude

E fé
