lyrics
Vem Ser Feliz (Become happy) - PORTUGESE
Eu sei que tu podes ser (I know you can become happy) - PORTUGESE
We are like water
Together we’re strong
We are like (the) wind,
together we blow
We are like birds,
Together we’ll fly through the sky
We are like family,
Together we will win and thrive
We are like water, fire, wind,
We’re pulling through the storm
We’re pulling through the storm!!
Toza lokola mayi moto na mopepe
(We are like water, fire, wind) - LINGALA
CHORUS
Listen to your heart,
what people say: don’t care
DON’T CARE
Strive to your greatness,
Because you’re special and…
You’re special and rare
You’re special and rare
(Don’t make others tell you what you have to do
Be confident, strong, you can do it too.
Sun is the only piece of my happiness,
it shines over my head, bring me more,
when is it coming about rain,
everything I see is dark,
how can I be strong without the sun,
please help me, something I want to tell you about,
It’s special and rare, give me a break, be in peace
Rays of hope
can you feel the sun
Too good to cry,
Life is fun
Without our love
We’ll never be strong
The secret is to accept your life being happy
without ever giving up on your dream
Life only gives you wings if you’re not afraid to fall
We are like water, fire, wind,
We’re pulling through the storm
We’re pulling through the storm!!
CHORUS:
Listen to your heart,
what people say: don’t care
DON’T CARE
Strive to your greatness,
Because you’re special and
You’re special and rare
SPOKEN WORD:
Just like flowers we blossom
It’s one life we got
Lets live it to the fullest
Do crazy things why not
Our hearts connecting
We’ve all been through things
But we rise after we fall
Like that dynamic season spring
Can you feel it?
The good energy around
Let’s have fun it’s lit
CHORUS:
(Everyone)
Listen to your heart,
what people say: don’t care
Strive to your greatness,
Because you’re special and
You’re special and rare
Spoken word
L’amitié est une corde triple qui ne se rompt qu’à la mort dit-on.
Il ne reste à noter que l’amitié ne connaît ni déguisements ni freins car tout y est sincère et va du cœur .
Soyez fidèle en amitié vos amis les seront eux aussi.
C'est l'âme et le cœur qui font l’amitié et non de belles paroles.
La sincérité , la fidélité, l’amour , l'honnêteté restent les clés de la réussite pour une amitié éternelle.
FRENCH

It is the soul and the heart that make friendship, not fine words.Sincerity, fidelity, love, honesty remain the keys to success for an eternal friendship)
CHORUS:
Listen to your heart,
what people say: don’t care
DON’T CARE
Strive to your greatness,
Because you’re special and
You’re special and rare
You’re special and rare
You’re special and rare
