Sung	Meaning
Look up high, what do you see?	Olha lá para cima, o que vês?
The sun — o sol, a brilhar!
Say it again, come sing with me.	Diz outra vez, vem cantar comigo.
Sun, sun — o sol a brilhar!
What comes out when day is done?	O que aparece quando o dia acaba?
The moon — a lua, lá no céu.
Moon, moon, I see the moon!	Lua, lua, vejo a lua!
Lua, lua, tão bonita no céu!	Moon, moon, so pretty in the sky!
Up in space, what can we see?	Lá no espaço, o que conseguimos ver?
Uma estrela! A star for me!
Up in space, what’s that round shape?	Lá no espaço, que forma redonda é aquela?
Um planeta! Spin and wave!
Sol, lua, estrela, planeta!	Sun, moon, star, planet!
Say it, sing it, let’s go explore!	Diz, canta, vamos explorar!
Sol, lua, estrela, planeta!	Sun, moon, star, planet!
Learn a little, then learn some more!	Aprende um pouco, e depois mais!
What will take us past the clouds?	O que nos leva para lá das nuvens?
A rocket — um foguetão!
Foguetão, let’s count down loud!
Cinco, quatro, três, dois, um — já está!	Five, four, three, two, one — blast off!
Who is floating way up there?	Quem está a flutuar lá em cima?
An astronaut — um astronauta!
Say hello; wave in the air!	Diz olá; acena no ar!
Olá, astronauta! Que viagem fantástica!	Hello, astronaut! What a fantastic trip!
Up in space, what can we see?	Lá no espaço, o que conseguimos ver?
Uma estrela! A star for me!
Up in space, what’s that round shape?	Lá no espaço, que forma redonda é aquela?
Um planeta! Spin and wave!
Sol, lua, estrela, planeta!	Sun, moon, star, planet!
Say it, sing it, let’s go explore!	Diz, canta, vamos explorar!
Sol, lua, estrela, planeta!	Sun, moon, star, planet!
Learn a little, then learn some more!	Aprende um pouco, e depois mais!
The sun is bright — o sol brilha!
The moon is near — a lua está ali!
One little star — uma estrela!
One big planet — um planeta!
Foguetão, astronauta, vamos viajar!	Rocket, astronaut, let’s travel!
Up in space, we sing together!	Lá no espaço, cantamos juntos!
Up in space, what can we see?	Lá no espaço, o que conseguimos ver?
Uma estrela! A star for me!
Up in space, what’s that round shape?	Lá no espaço, que forma redonda é aquela?
Um planeta! Spin and wave!
Sol, lua, estrela, planeta!	Sun, moon, star, planet!
Say it, sing it, let’s go explore!	Diz, canta, vamos explorar!
Sol, lua, estrela, planeta!	Sun, moon, star, planet!
Learn a little, then learn some more!	Aprende um pouco, e depois mais!
