Beautiful Life

Victor Chaves - English version by Eric Silver

I live in a place, just a little house in a simple town
A little fire in the stove burning down
With embers glowing
I’ve got everything, a donkey and some cows
A river running by just behind the house
Me and my guitar and chickens running around

All around the yard there’s fruit and flowers on the trees
And in this heart inside of me there’s a love for someone growing

CHORUS
Beautiful life, oh oh oh beautiful life
Bullfrogs jumping in the water on the way to my countryside
Beautiful life, oh oh oh beautiful life
Bullfrogs jumping in the water on the way to my countryside

Every now and then I head into town
Stock up on some things when they’re running down
Coffee, bread and wine and nice cachaça ai
Then back home I go stirring up the dust on the dusty road
And any sadness that I once used to know
Never comes past the gate inside

Galloping I go down to a bend in the road
There’s someone waiting there I know I call my baby she’s my baby

Beautiful life, oh oh oh beautiful life
Bullfrogs jumping in the water on the way to my countryside
Beautiful life, oh it’s a beautiful life
Bullfrogs jumping in the water on the way to my countryside

Beautiful life, oh it’s a beautiful life
Bullfrogs jumping in the water on the way to my countryside
Beautiful life, oh it’s a beautiful life
The bullfrogs are jumping in the water, on the way to my countryside
They keep jumping in the water on the way to my countryside
