She is still a child and might be expecting Puff, the magic Dragon. But the picture also has that romantic touch of a girl by the sea dreaming about love.
"Puff, the magic dragon Lived by the sea..."
"A dragon lives forever, But not little girls and boys. Painted wings and giant rings Make way for other toys."
So, let me tell you one more thing: my mother-in-law and my mother were horrified when they first listened to that music! They were visiting us in England and they would shout: "All the songs for children in this country are very depressing!"
You see, Brazilian music for children is very vibrant and cheerful. Luis' grandmas were appalled to know their grandson was being raised listening to such melancholic tunes and themes.
At that point I was very practical - Luis liked the songs, so that was it.
Oh, this is so beautiful!
