Afortunado

Lucky to have the job I dreamed of.
Lucky to have a home where I can grow,
a home that instilled in me the value of education,
with parents who for me
are my will to live, they mean everything to me
and my strength to carry on.
And my siblings, for god's sake, don’t touch them, please.

I’m lucky to find and have
friends who, though not blood,
show me they’re part of me,
that they’d be there, because above all, they see:
This one who sings for the world,
this one who despite everything
keeps believing in his neighborhood and won’t leave it behind.

(Chorus)
Lucky to have dreamed of you without permission,
for putting up with the unbearable by your side,
for having loved you and feeling used, misunderstood,
today I want to say:

That it’s been a while since it’s been the same,
that it’s been a while since everything’s been different,
that it’s been a while since you stopped loving me
and I don’t get it, I don’t get it (x2)

I’m lucky to see again
all the things I missed in life.
That blindness that wouldn’t let me see
all those things that seemed small to you,
selfish and unkind to life.
I’m lucky, I’m lucky.

(Chorus)

That it’s been a while since it’s been the same,
that it’s been a while since everything’s been different,
that it’s been a while since you stopped loving me
and I don’t get it, I don’t get it.
