No Dia Em Que Eu Saí De Casa
2 Filhos de Francisco
On the Day I Left Home
On the day I left home my mother said to me: Son come here
She ran her hand through my hair, looked into my eyes and began to speak
Wherever you go, I will follow with my thoughts always wherever you are
In my prayers I will ask God
To illuminate your steps
I know she never understood
My reasons for leaving there
But she knows that after growing up
The child becomes a bird and wants to fly
I really wanted to stay there
But destiny wanted to contradict me
And with my mother's gaze at the door
I left her crying blessing me
On that day my mother told me about the world as it is
It seems like she knew every stone I would step on
And always by my father's side in the small town she never left
She said to me, my son, go with God
That this whole world is yours
I know she never understood
My reasons for leaving there
But she knows that after growing up
The child becomes a bird and wants to fly
I really wanted to stay there
But destiny wanted to contradict me
And with my mother's gaze at the door
I left her crying blessing me
