O Filho Que Eu Quero Ter [English translation]

We often have dreams, I know, when the sun goes down

I myself dreamt an astounishing beautiful dream

I see a cradle and in it I lean over with tears pouring out

And so in tears I cherish the child I would like to have

Sleep, my little one, go to sleep that the night is coming

Your dad's so lonely from so much love in him

Suddenly I watch you become a boy just like me

Who to me comes running to kiss as I arrive from wherever I went

A boy constantly asking me endless whys

A son who I only wish well and to whom I only say yes

Go to sleep naughty boy, go to sleep that life is on its way

Your father's very tired from all the pain he's in

Whenever life at last takes me away after so much it will have gave me

Feel his beard rubbing against me in his last kiss

And also feel his hand sealing my gaze from his eyes

Hearing his voice rocking me in a cozy farewell

Go to sleep, Dad, carelessly, that when the sun goes down

Your son will be daydreaming about the child he would like to have
