Lyrics[]

Portuguese
Não chora, menina, não chora mais.
Um dia você vai saber.
Na vida existe sempre a razão
E mesmo a tristeza tem valor.
O que fez as lágrimas no seu rosto
É o carinho do seu coração.
E a menina que sabe o que é o carinho
Vai ser mais linda, linda mulher.
Uma estrela apareceu
Sorrindo pra você, menina.
E a menina que sabe o que é o carinho
Vai ser mais linda, linda mulher.
English translation
Don't cry, little girl, don't cry any more.
Someday you'll know.
Life always has a reason,
And even sadness is worth something.
What puts tears on your face
Is the kindness in your heart.
And a girl who knows what is the kindness
Will be more beautiful, beautiful woman.
A star appears,
Smiling for you, little girl.
And a girl who knows what is the kindness
Will be more beautiful, beautiful woman.
