I guess the non-Portuguese speakers are wondering why I put the song lyrics up here in Portuguese. Well, the answer is simple. I could not find a complete translation and I do not know enough Portuguese to translate it myself. Below, I have included a partial translation. The part the translation leaves out is my favorite part. I love the phrase in the song, "Para desentristecer, leãozinho, O meu coração tão só". I will give the idea of what it says rather than a translation (which is way beyond my skills). It basically says that the little lion makes his lonely heart happy. That is why this song makes me think of BLP. Her smile makes everyone happy. (The same is true about AJP but he does not look like a little lion, especially with his recent haircut!)
The Little Lion
I love to see you , little lion,
Walking in the sun. . .
To see you enter the sea
Your skin, your light
Your mane
I love to stay in the sun, little lion
I love to wet my mane
To be close to you. . .
