Filhos

I will write to you what I always wanted to say
In this letter that maybe you will never receive.
I apologize in advance, please
And try to understand my handwriting that the tear blurred.

Today is Thursday, the day is cloudy.
I didn't even go to school, I overslept, woke up messed up.
Locked in my room, I see the photo albums
Of how it seemed that we were happy
A photo of us hugging and then
Another of a birthday party we had years ago.

So I started to remember our story
Everything we lived together in our journey.
Many glories, many crises, several plans.
Happy times of a family in a few years.

I remember perfectly and I can even feel
The tickles you used to do to make me laugh.
How you cheered when I got a 10 at school
And took me to fly kites and play soccer.
When you asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.
I said I wanted to be like you.

Who was simply my superhero
And left a lot of longing in my hurting chest.
It's like this, please try to understand me.
When you hear the song we made for you.

I dreamed, it never hurts to dream.
I sought someone to look up to.
I found in God a father, my king
My breath...

I dreamed, it never hurts to dream.
I sought someone to look up to.
I found in God a father, my king
My breath...

When I remember you leaving through that door
Bags on your shoulders, me asking, 'Daddy come back!'
Tears falling from my eyes, you wiped them away,
Picked me up, gave me a kiss, and hugged me.

You promised my brother you would come back.
At least once a week and take us
To ease the longing, to walk in the city.

Suddenly that would be much better for us
In the beginning it was really like that...
Yeah, almost like that...
I think you know it was hard for me, or for us.
I don't think so, you disappeared.
Didn't see your daughter grow up, it was quick and subtle...

There were few phone calls, to kill what was killing us
In the end always with a kiss you said you loved me.

I heard a baby's voice deep down
I knew you would find another world,
Someone to compete with the love I feel for you
And that over the phone I can't express.

But what's the point of love if you're not here
For me to hug you, kiss you, and smile.
I'm not that happy child anymore
Nor are you that present father.

It's like this...
Please try to understand me.
When you hear the song we made for you.

I dreamed, it never hurts to dream.
I sought someone to look up to.
I found in God a father, my king;
My breath...

I dreamed, it never hurts to dream.
I sought someone to look up to.
I found in God a father, my king;
My breath...

I grew up, seeing my friends
Where I lived, who had a father at home
But didn't appreciate it
Oh, if only I had that opportunity
To have you here with me on Sunday afternoons
To teach me how to drive
And share with me everything you know
And be my best friend.

But no, it was my mother who did her part
She taught me to be a man, and never left me stranded
She said that love cannot live with resentment
It's like the saying that oil doesn't mix with water.

That it's necessary for me to love you and forget all the past
What's the point of love if you're not here by our side?
But I love you and it hurts me inside
I wish to show with actions my feelings
Children are always the ones who suffer the most
From their parents' separation.

I dreamed, it never hurts to dream.
I sought someone to look up to.
I found in God a father, my king
My breath...

I dreamed, it never hurts to dream.
I sought someone to look up to.
I found in God a father, my king
My breath...

I dreamed...
I found...
My breath...
Hmm... Hmm
Ooh...
My breath...
