"quando a nossa mãe acordar

andaremos ao sol

quando a nossa mãe acordar

cantará pelo sertão

quando a nossa mãe acordar

todos os filhos saberão

todos os filhos saberão

e se alegrarão

caught in the rays of the rising sun

on the run from the soldier's guns

houting out loud from the angry crowd

the mild the wild and the hungry child

i'll tell you there's more than a dream in Rio

i was there on the very day

and my heart came back alive

there was more

more than the singing voices

more than the upturned faces

and more than the shining eyes

but it's more than the shining eye

more than the steaming green

more than the hidden hills

more than the concrete Christ

more than a distant land

over a shining sea

more than a hungry child

more like another time

born of a million years

more than a million years"

---James Taylor

Quando a nossa mãe acordar

When our mother awakes

Todos os filhos saberão

Todos os filhos saberão

All her children shall know

E se alegrarão

And they shall rejoice
