BATIDINHA music by Antonio Carlos Jobim,
new English & Portuguese lyrics by Joel Sattler

ESTRELA NORTE  / North Star

Portuguese version
[please pardon any egregious mistakes!]

Estrela norte
Salvamento me 
Para fora no mar tormentoso louco 
Se eu sou perdido
virá guiar-me
Guiar-me

Estará brilhando
É tudo que eu precisarei sempre
Sempre
Sempre
Sempre

Estrela norte
é verdadeiro
brilho fora da ceu em mim
em seus braços
e no alvorecer
então salvar-me
chama-me

Vá sobre a lua
encontre uma parte paraíso
Para-iso
Para-iso

1st version

She is my north star
at night she saves me
out on the wild and stormy sea
she is the one
whenever I get lost
she is there to guide
to guide me

She will shine forever
and is always there whenever I may need
Always
Always
always

She is my north star
as sure as can be
shining out of the night in me
into the dawn
into her open arms
Then she will rescue me
she calls me….

Somewhere over moonrise
you may find a piece of heaven of your own
somewhere
somewhere
somewhere

-----------------------------------------------------

2nd version

You are my north star
Your shine rescues me
Out on the wild and stormy sea
You are the one
Who’ll always guide my night
You will be the light
That finds me 

You will shine forever
And will always be there whenever I may need
Always
Always

You are my north star
As steady as can be
Shining out of the empty sky
Pointing the way
The compass to my heart
You will navigate
Me back home

Somewhere after morning
When we lie in bed and greet the morning sun
Sing low
Sing low
Sing low

You are my north star
At night rescue me
Out on the wild and stormy sea
You are the one
Whenever I get lost
You are there to guide
To guide me

You will shine forever
And are always there whenever I may need
Always
Always

You are my north star
As steady can be
Shining out of the night in me 
Pointing the way
The compass to my heart
You will navigate
Me back home

Somewhere over moonrise
We will find a piece of heaven of our own
somewhere
somewhere
somewhere
