If I can keep him from
crying like he did that time...
...إذا كنتُ أستطيع منعه من البُكاء كما المرّة الماضية
Solange Noé dann nie mehr
so wie damals weinen muss …
Si puedo evitar que llore
como aquella vez…
Si puedo evitar
que vuelva a llorar como entonces...
Pour qu’il ne pleure pas
Se così posso impedire 
che pianga come quella volta...
Se eu puder impedi-lo de chorar
como chorou daquela vez...
