Tema de Não Quero Ver Você Triste

I have a new song addiction. Snow Patrol and Marta Wainwright's Set The Fire To The Third Bar was my last week's #1; even though the week has just started I suspect I already this week's #1: Eramos Carlos and Marisa Monte's Tema de Não Quero Ver Você Triste [in English: "Song about 'I Don't Wanna See You Sad'"].
This cute ballad with a touch of samba has its verses chanted by one of my top 5 Brazillian artists, Marisa Monte. Erasmo, one of Brazil's biggest and most popular singer/songwriters, reads some verses as a recitation. The lyrics are beyond cute, but I guess my favorite thing about them is that it's optimistic like a [real] good-morning smile. So here I go trying to translate its cuteness to English, but you of course must download the original thing, by clicking the song's name above.
[Marisa Monte]
Feel the sky
Observe the sea
There's a lot more
For me to show you
Don't cry,
don't be sad like that
I love you so,
that you're tears
Turned into a song for me
Smile please,
have some hope


[Erasmo Carlos]
What is up with you?!
Tell me.
I don't wanna see you sad like that.
Don't get down.
The world is good,
There is even happiness.
Wipe the tear,
stop crying.
You'll everything will be alright.
You'll smile again.
What harm has anyone done you?!
Tell me.
I don't wanna see you sad like this.


[Marisa Monte]
Feel the sky
and this moonlight
That I wanna see
on your eyes.
I just wanted to have you for me.
I love you so,
that you're tears
Turned into a song for me
Smile please,
have some hope


[Erasmo Carlos]
Look, let's go out?!
Knowing where to go, what for?!
I just wanna see you smiling.
Wipe the tear,
don't cry anymore.
Look what a blue sky!
Way blue sky.
Forget the evil,
think only about the good.
That way happiness comes one day.
Now one song,
would you sing to me?!
I don't wanna see you sad like this.
