Sinuca de Bico

You stayed
When the rope broke
When the spring water dried up
When the bomb exploded
You saw, yet didn't back down
You bet on my cue in a tough spot
And the shots I missed, but

You stayed
Then I realized I could count on you
You committed to straighten out this life I lead
When everyone left, you said I'll stay
And I, who didn't believe, broke
I hit rock bottom in flesh and bone
But I didn't realize

It took falling down more times
To admit that I was wrong
But who doesn't make mistakes
Let them cast the first stone
Who has never regretted
Who has never thought victory was certain and then lost
Who has never been on the verge of selling their soul
But time passes and with time we calm down

I just wanted to thank
And wish happiness
Peace on earth to men of good will
