Abensonhado [English translation]
Abensonhado [English translation]
Words are expensive, if they're just to spend saliva
This is to say that I am at peace, I am healthy and I am alive
I know today that I had to hit rock bottom
To take a step back and put everything into perspective
I used to be sedated and with my head on the pillow
In a hospital bed until so many dawns,
Making excuses for the problems in my life,
When the fault was only and exclusively mine
On the wrong paths, clinging to addiction,
I had everything, except a good head on my shoulders,
I saw myself pass to the other side and,
I know that I was going through a rough patch and that because of it I was in bed with the devil,
I breathe deeply, now more grown-up
I realised that I had lost myself somewhere along the way
So far removed from the principles that I cherished
And in trying to hear the voice of this God to whom I was praying, I say
I’m sorry mama
I’m sorry mama
I’m sorry mama
Oh mama
Wondering if love is only measured in kisses,
I see myself throwing rocks into the wishing pond
No matter how long you live, the experience is what teaches you
To never look down because the blessings come from above
I am protected even when someone conspires
And if it was God who gave then only God is who takes away,
I'm at peace and I figured out my feelings
Because of that, I have a sane mind and the heart clean
Many wish us ill, that's legitimate
but I am at peace, God knows my inmost self
in this life he blesses his brothers
To count my blessings, two hands aren't enough
Tata, you're a brother that God gave to me
I felt the loss of your father as if he was mine
Jêpas, I'm with you if things get messy
When no one had faith in us, we had faith in each other
My fight is your fight, what unites is eternal,
There's no black nor white, I see beyond our epidermis
And nothing is impossible
We are an inspiration to all who pretend we're invisible
I think of us talking about harassment
A few years ago in the car outside my building
Talking about money and this fleeting fame,
But today we are men who know that this is just a dust,
So naive and so deluded
but maybe God heard me
Today I just want to go unnoticed
Have principles, be a good father and a good husband
I've already given everything to someone who never gave me anything in return
But I learned to be grateful even with having little,
and tell me, how much are my values worth here?
If I need, tell me how many are praying for me?
Since the success has its price,
If this isn't the end for me,
I know that this is a new beginning,
Early in the morning, I am grateful every day
That the darkness doesn’t dim that shine that guides me
This is so much more than making a song
Since my words started to change lives
And my music started to heal wounds,
Ever since God blessed me with a queen and two daughters
Blessed.
