O Balão do João
O Balão do João
João's Balloon
Children's Song
Children's Song
(Portuguese)
(English)
O balão do João
sobe sobe pelo ar.
Está feliz
o petiz a cantarolar.
Mas o vento a soprar
leva o balão
pelo ar.
Fica então
o João a choramingar.
João's balloon
Goes up, goes up in the sky
Is happy
The boy singing
But the wind blowing
Takes the balloon
To the sky
So stays
João crying.
Notes
Here's another translation by Lisa Yannucci:
John's balloon
Goes up, up in the air
The boy's happy,
He sings.
But the blowing wind
Takes the balloon away
Up in the air
So then John
Stays there whining.
