Cinderela [English translation]

They are two children

Living their hopes,

Learning to smile.

She has blond tresses

And he has many treasures

To give.

They play with one another;

They walk by each other,

Always without speaking.

They throw embarrassed glances

And they are together,

Without anyone realizing.

Some other day they met,

As if by magic

As they stood on the bus.

And he fearfully told her right there:

'My name is Peter.

What's yours?'

She blushed a little

And replied softly:

'I'm Cinderella'.

When he went back home at night,

He fell asleep

And dreamed of her...

[Chorus:]

And so

Do beat, do beat oh my heart

Crazily.. Mad with hope!

And when the expected sign comes, have courage!

Growing up,

You'll have time to learn,

You'll manage to live through

Your very first love!

Cinderella, the one from the tales,

Awakening memories,

Living mysteries.

She has already made him walk under the moon,

In the middle of the road

And when it was pouring down.

And when she saw him like that,

Soaking and shivering,

She almost held him.

With his face like that, soaked,

Nobody cared much

And she even made a vow...

[Chorus:]

And so

Do beat, do beat oh my heart

Crazily.. Mad with hope!

And when the expected sign comes, have courage!

Growing up,

You'll have time to learn,

You'll manage to live through

Your very first love!

And now, during their lunch breaks

They walk together,

They make lots of plans.

And they share their lunch,

Just like a gift of love

That people give after many years.

And, in one of those good moments,

They hear their feelings

Speaking by themselves...

He has taken her hand:

'You know, Cinderella?

I love you!'

[Chorus:]

And so

Do beat, do beat oh my heart

Crazily.. Mad with hope!

And when the expected sign comes, have courage!

Growing up,

You'll have time to learn,

You'll manage to live through

Your very first love!

[Instrumental]

[Chorus:]

And so

Do beat, do beat oh my heart

Crazily.. Mad with hope!

And when the expected sign comes, have courage!

Growing up,

You'll have time to learn,

You'll manage to live through

Your very first love!
