A Carta

My father, I will tell you
A delicate matter
I never told anyone
Because I feel ashamed

When you open this letter
You will find out
Everything I did wrong

You did what you could
Sending me to school
But I never made an effort
I didn't care about the future

Now I'm at the end
Don't do anything for me
I will die at any time

And the money you sent
To pay for college
I spent on cigarettes
To smoke around the city

I never went to school
And you didn't know
About my disloyalty

My father, please now
I want to ask for your forgiveness
For everything I caused you
For this disappointment

I know I went unnoticed
My father, my best friend
I did this ingratitude

Many times I worked
To support my addiction
Every passing day
It became much harder

I'm in a dead end
I'm already with my life
On the edge of the precipice

I want to ask for your forgiveness
Before death comes
You were not to blame
For my sad fate

I can't blame anyone
It was me who didn't want the good
Forgive me, be strong

I want to ask for your forgiveness
Before death comes
You were not to blame
For my sad fate

I can't blame anyone
It was me who didn't want the good
Forgive me, be strong
