Anjinhos inocentes [English translation]

(Where are they?)

Those innocent little angels, in this life?

(Where are they?)

For what do they want them? What do they do to them, then?

(Where are they?)

Millions of children who disappear

And don't ever return...

I read the newspaper once again and my heart weeps;

I switch the TV on and it's just the same, oh my God...

Every day, news that nobody can ignore:

One more little boy or girl has disappeared!

I start thinking about my children, as they sleep by my side

And in those parents who lost theirs; someone took them away...

I try to sleep, but I can't: I live in anguish!

A question suddenly appears and the pain kills me...

[Chorus:]

(Where are they?)

Those innocent little angels, in this world

(Where are they?)

If they can hear us, please let them tell us!

(Where are they?)

And who has committed this most terrible sin

Before the eyes of the Lord?

(Where are they?)

Those innocent little angels, in this life

(Where are they?)

For what do they want them? What do they do to them, then?

(Where are they?)

Millions of children who disappear

And don't ever return...

I awaken late at night and again, filled with hope,

I read the newspaper and also switch the TV on,

But I see that child's little eyes once again

And the deep agony of their father, their mother...

I grab my children's hands, who sleep peacefully

And I pray to Our Lady, so no one will ever abduct them

And, when I imagine how upset some people are,

This question kills me yet one more time...

[Chorus:]

(Where are they?)

Those innocent little angels, in this world

(Where are they?)

If they can hear us, please let them tell us!

(Where are they?)

And who has committed this most terrible sin

Before the eyes of the Lord?

(Where are they?)

Those innocent little angels, in this life

(Where are they?)

For what do they want them? What do they do to them, then?

(Where are they?)

Millions of children who disappear

And don't ever return...

Innocent little angels...

Where are they?
