Chapter 7

Alexis' Pov

When I thought I'd have the chance to be by myself again, I was wrong. Since my crazy attitude about the spiders my mom hasn't let me alone for a second, she's constantly asking me if I'm okay.

We aren't sure about what happened that night, I said I was fine and since that day I never had another episode like that.

Now I'm going to the studio with my mom, which is nothing different from staying by myself at home so whatever.

As we arrive the studio I go in her room and she goes to her manager, he's boring guys I promise y'all.

I grab the guitar in the corner of the room and play with it.

Não é sobre ter
Todas as pessoas do mundo pra si
É sobre saber que em algum lugar Alguém zela por ti
É sobre cantar e poder escutar
Mais do que a própria voz
É sobre dançar na chuva de vida
Que cai sobre nós

It's not about having
All the people in the world for you.
It's about knowing that somewhere Someone watches over you
It's about singing and being able to listen
More than the voice itself
It's about dancing in the rain of life
That falls on us

É saber se sentir infinito
Num universo tão vasto e bonito
É saber sonhar
E, então, fazer valer a pena cada verso
Daquele poema sobre acreditar

It's knowing to you feel infinite
In such a vast and beautiful universe
It's knowing how to dream
And then make it worth every verse
Of that poem about believing

Não é sobre chegar no topo do mundo
E saber que venceu
É sobre escalar e sentir
Que o caminho te fortaleceu
É sobre ser abrigo
E também ter morada em outros corações
E assim ter amigos contigo
Em todas as situações

It's not about getting on top of the world
And know that you have won
It's about climbing and feeling
That the way strengthened you
It's about being shelter
And also to live in other hearts
And so having friends with you
In all situations

A gente não pode ter tudo
Qual seria a graça do mundo se fosse assim?
Por isso, eu prefiro sorrisos
E os presentes que a vida trouxe
Pra perto de mim

We can't have it all
What would be the grace of the world if it were so?
So I prefer smiles
And the gifts that life brought
Closer to me

Não é sobre tudo que o
Teu dinheiro
É capaz de comprar
E sim sobre cada momento
Sorriso a se compartilhar
Também não é sobre correr
Contra o tempo pra ter sempre mais Porque quando menos se espera
A vida já ficou pra trás

It's not about all that your money can buy
But about every moment
And Smile to share
It's also not about running.
Against the time to always have more Because when least expected
Life is behind us

Segura teu filho no colo
Sorria e abrace teus pais
Enquanto estão aqui
Que a vida é trem-bala, parceiro
E a gente é só passageiro prestes a partir

Hold your child on your lap.
Smile and hug your parents.
While they are here
That life is bullet train, partner
And we're just passing on

Laiá, laiá, laiá, laiá, laiá Laiá, laiá, laiá, laiá, laiá

Segura teu filho no colo
Sorria e abrace teus pais
Enquanto estão aqui
Que a vida é trem-bala, parceiro
E a gente é só passageiro prestes a partir.

Hold your child on your lap.
Smile and hug your parents.
While they are here
That life is bullet train, partner
And we're just passing on.

I end the song then open my eyes to see my mom smiling to me and I noticed she was recording me.

"You have such a beautiful voice babygirl" she says and I smile back to her.

"Thanks, I think it's from genetics" I smirk and she laughs.

"It's awful that I can't sing in Portuguese like you" She pouts and I giggle.

"Dad taught me Portuguese since I was young, I was raised with both languages also my grandparents and all my dad's family used to come a lot to see me so we talked a lot in Portuguese" I explain and she nods.

"That's pretty awesome, so you listen to Brazilian music that much?" She asks curious and I shook my head.

"Not really, my aunt Izabella used to sing it to me a lot and it's my favorite song since I was little" I say playing with my fingers.

"It sounds like such a peaceful song though" She says and I look at her.

"It is, I can translate it to you if you want me to, also I can help you singing it" I smile big and she nods also smiling.

"That'd be amazing honey" She says full of excitement.

"We shoul-"

"Demi everything's ready for the meeting come on" Have I told you guys how much I hate him?

My mom stands up and kisses my forehead also give me an apologetic look, I understand her, it's not her fault at all.

The life is bullet train, mommy
And we're just passing on.
