When I was a child I learned that, besides everything
I also learned that this doggone world of ours also shakes
I learned that those who don't dance have danced when they were children
Otherwise, rock songs would be baião1
I learned how important it is not to give importance
And to keep my feet on the ground
I learned that living makes people get tired, even if they live in France
Even going to their homes by plane
I learned that quarrels happen because someone always thinks
That nobody is right any more

I learned that everything passes by, drinking either tea or cachaça2
I learned by drinking champagne or not
I learned that disbelief, distrust and disease
Are parts of the curse
I learned that ignorance, dirtiness and greed
Are the lavas that burn in this volcano
I learned that this smoke fogs up my window
Outside, not inside
I quickly learned that we won the soccer championship four times and that the World Cup belongs to us
And that São Paulo is my sertão3
