GIVE
Dan lives on earth,
live in the sky
Live in the immensity.
Give it early morning sun,
It's moonlight in the dark.
Jump in the rain,
Dry in the wind,
And it's already on the horizon.
Give is growth,
In constant motion.
Give receives a lot of love and care,
So much so that it gets pampered.
Give overflows gratitude.
Having the time passed,
Dão grows beautiful and illuminated.
Curious people leave for the region,
Which so far I have revealed.
Even if it doesn't look like it.
So, Dão decides to show himself to everyone.
Dão is a very healthy fruit.
Give is UVA.
That's when your beauty, your smell and taste,
They were awakened.
Great pleasure!
It's for him and for him,
That many come and will come.
Welcome to DÃO!
