One night I had a dream
It was a dream so bright and mellow
I dreamed I was at the Sítio do Pica-Pau Amarelo
In a house so white and cozy, near the stream and the trees
I met the lovely characters from Lobato’s stories

Monteiro Lobato
This song I sing
With all my heart, to you I bring

I met the little doll, her name was Emília
So cheerful and so pretty, she was part of the familia
And that sweet little girl, Narizinho Arrebitado
Who once fell in love with the Prince Escamado

Monteiro Lobato
This song I sing
With all my heart, to you I bring

A mischievous little pig
Who was always full of flair
Had a name so funny, Marquês de Rabicó, right there
And made of corncob was that storyteller wise
So skinny, odd, and long-nosed, Visconde de Sabugosa

Monteiro Lobato
This song I sing
With all my heart, to you I bring

Oh, how I miss dear Pedrinho
Riding fast on Pangaré
And Bengala, the beetle, giving head rubs every day
There was even a Talking Donkey and a Spider sewing bright
Félix, the wandering cat
And Carochinha, gossiping all night

Monteiro Lobato
This song I sing
With all my heart, to you I bring

I met dear Aunt Nastácia
Making sweets with so much cheer
Dona Benta sewing gently while the others played so near
I woke up filled with joy and promised from my soul
To Lobato, ever-present, I would offer this song whole

Monteiro Lobato
This song I sing
With all my heart, to you I bring
