When darkness covers the sky, And stars twinkle up on high,

Quando a escurido chega E as estrelas ento reluzem

I love to listen to all the sounds, That nighttime brings around.

Adoro quietinho escutar Os sons que vo comea

I hear the crickets song; The frogs also sing along.

Ouo a cano do grilo, Os sapos fazendo coro

I can hear the breeze, Rustling the grass and leaves.

A brisa sopra e cai o orvalho As folhas danam nos galhos

Hush now, and listen well, Theres a nighttime tale

Fiquem quietinhos e escutem Esta histria to linda

Told to all, near and far, No matter where you are.

Que dos sons da noite fala Em todo lugar se pode escut-la.
