Translated lyrics
II remember when I was a child My mother used to sing to me "You're an angel, beautiful as all the worlds I will bring a little star to you." It still sounds in my ears The beautiful melody My youth is lost Still I sing to myself her little song Sing little birdie, sing You make my lot easier Remind me Of the childhood years Sing little birdie, sing.
Notes
clip here by Tanja Solnik I believe this is originally an Italian song, "Veni sul mar" (Come to the sea). I know another version, in Portuguese, "S Minas Gerais", which is the anthem of the State of Minas Gerais, in Brasil.
