There is an old Brazilian song for kids that always makes me smile, sweetie... Its name is "The History Of A Kitten" and my favorite verses since my earlier childhood are:

"WE, CATS, WERE BORN IN POVERTY
HOWEVER, WE WERE BORN FREE!!!
MISTER, MISSES, LANDLORD...
FELINE, YOU WON'T RECOGNIZE!!!"

Nobunaga Oda's translation for the last verse sounds much more precise. I made a too literal and weak translation, and changed it twice before posting:

"WE, CATS, WERE BORN IN POVERTY

HOWEVER, WE WERE BORN FREE!!!

MISTER, MISSES, LANDLORD...

WE, FELINES, WON'T RECOGNIZE!!!"

I will try another easier version, Nobunaga... :)

"WE, CATS, WERE BORN POOR

HOWEVER, WE WERE BORN FREE!!!

MISTER, MISSES, LANDLORD...

WE, FELINES, WON'T RECOGNIZE THEM!!!"

Thanks for the lovely suggestion, dear!!! Love you and your family!!! <3

Take care, please!!!
