Butterfly

Sobre os camposOver the fields
uma borboletaa butterfly
brincava em uma flor e parou para descansar nela.playied on a flower and she stopped and rested on it.
Havia uma criançaThere was a child
olhando para aquela florlooking at that flower
ele olhou de novo,he looked again,
más a borboleta tinha sumido.but the butterfly was gone.
A borboletaThe butterfly
voou para uma árvore,flew on a tree,
a criança correu até láthe child ran there
mas ela tinha sumido de novo.but she was gone again.
Voa e voa e voa,Fly and fly and fly,
correndo e correndo e correndorun and run and run
corria o menino ao lado delaran the boy beside her
e brincava com ela.and playied with her.
Voa sobre os camposFlies over the fields
corre na florestaraces in the wood
e o sol estava se pondoand the sun was going down
mas o sol já tinha se posto.but the sun had gone down.
Havia uma criançaThere was a child
sentada na estradasitting on the road
ele estava procurandohe was looking for
um jeito de voltar pra casa.the way to go back home.
Ramos das árvoresBranches of trees
pareciam alcançá-loseems to reach him
rosto nas mãos:face in his hands:
ele estava chorando.he was crying.
Chora e chora e chora,Cry and cry and cry,
voa e voa e voa,fly and fly and fly,
subiu em voos seu céurose in flights his sky
procurando por casa.searching for the home.
