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.
