When morning breaks the heaven on high When morning breaks the heaven on high Quando a manhã rompe o céu em alta I lift my heavy load to the sky I lift my heavy load to the sky Eu levanto minha carga pesada para o céu Sun comes down with a burning glow Sun comes down with a burning glow Dom vem para baixo com um brilho ardente Mingles my sweat with the earth below.
