Soleil mi sol [English translation]

Soleil [sun in French} my sun, in your arms I was born;

soleil my sun, do not forget me.

You lie in Rio, wake up in Macao,

you walk barefoot in summer

by the burning beach,

and in the winter you go in mists of Candor [?]

and we are one you and me,

your heat is love.

Soleil my sun, in your arms I was born;

soleil my sun, do not forget me.

When you leave,

my sun when you leave,

I alone am with another artificial sun.

Soleil my sun, I go where you go,

I am from you and your will.

I want to shine among the favelas,

soleil my sun, with you I want to sing.

Since I feel you, I offer myself

I bare my body on the beach.

My skin faints,

with your caresses I am happy,

so happy, that later,

I'm afraid that when you leave

I will die of cold.

Soleil my sun, in your arms I was born;

soleil my sun, do not forget me.

When you leave,

my sun when you leave,

I alone am with another artificial sun.

Soleil my sun, I go where you go,

I am from you and your will.

I want to shine among the favelas [in Portuguese ghettoes] ,

soleil my sun, with you I want to sing.

You lie down in Rio, wake up in Macao.

You walk barefoot in summer, you go in winter. But I will always wait, without yesterday I will be

an eternal summer, and faithful

for your light I will live.

Soleil, soleil.
