Congratulations, friend Trampoline,
Even if your name is Joaquim.
Congratulations, my dear friend,
But you do not have a Navel in the end.
Today is the first of August
Trampoline friend, I like you first.
Several things happened today.
But the most important thing is there are no dishes today.
Today is party day, I am sure.
You can’t make the basket anymore.
I don’t know how old you are,
But it’s already been two here.
Trampoline friend,
It never ends.
You are the imagination helper.
And you never forced it is better.
Oh, friend,
You must enjoy the fig’s bend.
You’re the best,
With worth beyond the rest.
