Não é sobre ter todas as pessoas do mundo pra si 00:09
É sobre saber que em algum lugar alguém zela por ti 00:14
É sobre cantar e poder escutar mais do que a própria voz 00:18
É sobre dançar na chuva de vida que cai sobre nós 00:24
É saber se sentir infinito 00:30
Num universo tão vasto e bonito 00:32
É saber sonhar 00:35
Então, fazer valer a pena cada verso daquele poema sobre acreditar 00:40
Não é sobre chegar no topo do mundo e saber que venceu 00:50
É sobre escalar e sentir que o caminho te fortaleceu 00:55
É sobre ser abrigo e também ter morada em outros corações 01:00
E assim ter amigos contigo em todas as situações 01:06
A gente não pode ter tudo 01:10
Qual seria a graça do mundo se fosse assim? 01:13
Por isso, eu prefiro sorrisos 01:21
E os presentes que a vida trouxe pra perto de mim 01:24
Não é sobre tudo que o seu dinheiro é capaz de comprar 01:31
E sim sobre cada momento e sorriso a se compartilhar 01:36
Também não é sobre correr contra o tempo pra ter sempre mais 01:41
Porque quando menos se espera a vida já ficou pra trás 01:46
Segura teu filho no colo 01:51
Sorria e abrace seus pais enquanto estão aqui 01:54
01:59
Que a vida é trem-bala, parceiro 02:01
E a gente é só passageiro prestes a partir 02:04
Laiá, laiá, laiá, laiá, laiá 02:12
Laiá, laiá, laiá, laiá, laiá 02:22
Segura teu filho no colo 02:32
Sorria e abrace seus pais enquanto estão aqui 02:36
02:39
Que a vida é trem-bala, parceiro 02:42
E a gente é só passageiro prestes a partir 02:46

[English]
It's not about having all the people in the world just for yourself
It's about knowing that somewhere someone cares for you
It's about singing and being able to hear more than just your own voice
It's about dancing in the rain of life that falls upon us
It's about feeling infinite
In such a vast and beautiful universe
It's about knowing how to dream
So, making every verse of that poem about believing worthwhile
It's not about reaching the top of the world and knowing you've won
It's about climbing and feeling the path has made you stronger
It's about being a shelter and finding a home in other hearts
And having friends with you in every situation
We can't have everything
What would be the point of the world if it were so?
That's why I prefer smiles
And the gifts that life has brought close to me
It's not about everything your money can buy
But about each moment and smile to share
It's also not about racing against time to have more and more
Because when you least expect, life has already gone by
Hold your child in your arms
Smile and hug your parents while they're here
...
Because life is a bullet train, partner
And we're just passengers about to leave
Laiá, laiá, laiá, laiá, laiá
Laiá, laiá, laiá, laiá, laiá
Hold your child in your arms
Smile and hug your parents while they're here
...
Because life is a bullet train, partner
And we're just passengers about to leave
...
