Brazilian Version – Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

• Twinkle, twinkle little star
• I want to see you shine
• Make believe it’s just mine
• Only for you will I sing

• Twinkle, twinkle little star
• Twinkle, twinkle up in the sky
• I’ll stay here sleeping
• To wait for Santa Claus

The Japanese version is similar to the Brazilian version in some ways, but the expressions change places. In the Japanese version, we also do not find the expression of Santa Claus, probably because there are not many Christians in Japan and Christmas is different. In the Japanese version, we also do not find the expressions “sleep” or “make believe it’s just mine.”
