I know a boy who ached to touch the sky I know a boy who ached to touch the sky Conheço um rapaz que sofria de tocar o céu All his life he tried to rise All his life he tried to rise Toda sua vida ele tentou se levantar And through the years he made a solemn vow And through the years he made a solemn vow E através dos anos, ele fez uma promessa solene To reach the light and bring it down To reach the light and bring it down Para alcançar a luz e derrubá-lo Oh the kiteman fly his kite so high far up in the sky at night Oh the kiteman fly his kite so high far up in the sky at night Oh, o kiteman empinava pipa tão alto, longe no céu à noite With string and dreams he sent his message high: With string and dreams he sent his message high: Com a seqüência de sonhos e enviou sua mensagem de alta: “if only I could likewise fly “if only I could likewise fly "se eu pudesse fazer o mesmo I'd pass above the very stratosphere I'd pass above the very stratosphere Eu passaria muito acima da estratosfera Without a tear or care inside.” Without a tear or care inside.” Sem uma lágrima ou de cuidados para dentro. " Oh the kiteman fly his kite so high high up in the sky Oh the kiteman fly his kite so high high up in the sky Oh, o kiteman empinava pipa tão alto no alto do céu Goodnight – and the wind in the kite Goodnight – and the wind in the kite Boa noite - e do vento na pipa In the moonlight he rides, he rides In the moonlight he rides, he rides Ao luar ele monta, ele monta I know a boy who couldn't stand the ground I know a boy who couldn't stand the ground Conheço um menino que não podia ficar no chão And always he was skyward bound And always he was skyward bound E sempre foi ligado ao céu The saddest thing is he's up there now The saddest thing is he's up there now O mais triste é que ele está lá em cima agora But all he says is he wants to come down But all he says is he wants to come down Mas tudo o que ele diz é que ele quer vir para baixo Oh the kiteman fly his kite so high way up in the sky Oh the kiteman fly his kite so high way up in the sky Oh, o kiteman empinava pipa tão lá no alto no céu “I want to come down now” “I want to come down now” "Eu quero descer agora"
