de “Nego”, de Carlos Rennó

É verão,
E a vida tá boa.
Quanto peixe!
E que lindo o algodão!
O papai tá rico
E a mamãe tá bonita.
Então, nenenzinho,
Chora não.

Um dia desses
Vais acordar cantando,
Vais abrir as asas
E o céu atingir.
Até tal dia,
Nada vai te fazer mal,
Com o papi e a mami
Junto a ti.

Summertime,
And the livin’ is easy.
Fish are jumpin’
And the cotton is high.
Oh, your daddy’s rich
And your mom’s good lookin’.
So, hush, little baby,
Don’t you cry.

One of these mornings
You’re going to rise up singing.
Then you’ll spread your wings,
And you’ll take to the sky.
But till that morning
There’s a’ nothing can harm you,
With daddy and mommy
Standing by.

Música de George Gershwin e letra de Ira Gershwin e Dubose Heyward, 1935
