English Translation:
When age fitted our fingers, the palm was bruised
The field was dirt, but I saw it green
Four steps with legs spread and the nearest stone
The other post was basketball and the goalpost was a dream
Without net or marks, the ball was never out
And the game only ended after the sun set
The whistle for half-time was the school bell
Black notebook with worn cover and the lesson written
With the ball under arm the backpack no longer weighed
Ball at his feet inside the door and time didn't matter
The passion was round, I gave evidence in a square
More goals and better grades, I was a diligent student
Expectancy increased and my future was already shining
On a report from tomorrow my thoughts travelled
Without worries, commanded by the will
I saw on the sidewalk promises flavored nostalgia [but I]

I touch the sky, step on the cold sidewalk
I bring in me the weight of a dream
If I don't fight
When the time comes
This will not change
x2

I feel my country on every petal of a carnation
My desire is infinity on every poem recorded
There is no economy that limits what I dream
I melt the ice of greed with love and affection
I'm a reflection of my people, inherited courage and bravery
You are not taller than my country and we both have the same height
There is wear in every eye, I see the shine taken away
I want to go back to that room where nothing was complicated
But my dream is Portuguese, I'm sea and tide
And as much as they tackle me, I stand on my feet
I leave the ball on the mark and go back a few steps
I kick with what I am and you defend if you can

[but I]
I touch the sky, step on the cold sidewalk
I bring in me the weight of a dream
If I don't fight
When the time comes
This will not change
