Mais Que Uma Vida

If I could, I would sing in your womb
To calm your heart
How many fears mixed with joy
During pregnancy?

And if suddenly, I had to choose
Between your life and mine?
Certainly, you would choose
Mine, oh

I never realized that food was scarce
Your faith is inspiration
It reminds me of the five loaves and two fish
Feeding the crowd

At night, everyone around the stove
Eager for dinner
The lamp lit up revealing
Hope in your eyes

Today I bear fruit from your seeds
It wasn't enough for you to plant
You cried, sang, cared, watered
At each stage, God was there
At each stage, God was there

Explain to me now this strength
Explain to me, mother, where does it come from
I know I'm just one of the five children
But if it were a hundred, but if it were a hundred
It would be the same

More than surrounding you with beautiful grandchildren
Being present on special dates
More than adorning you with beautiful flowers
Things like that and much more
May eternity be the reward
For those who gave me more than one life

Since I learned to count
I count two: Mine and yours
Since I learned to count
I count two: Mine and yours
Since I learned to count
I count two: Mine and yours

Explain to me now this strength
Explain to me, mother, where does it come from
I know I'm just one of the five children
But if it were a hundred, but if it were a hundred
It would be the same
