Rosas

Every fifteen seconds a woman is assaulted in Brazil
And the reality is far from rosy
Every year, two million women are beaten
By husbands or boyfriends

Today my love came to visit me
And brought roses to cheer me up
And with tears asks me to come back
Today I no longer smell the perfume
My love no longer hits me
Unfortunately, I rest in peace!

Everything was beautiful in the beginning, remember?
Of the things you told me that were good, seduction
A love story, various plans, desire, illusion
So what? I had nothing to lose, wanted to get out of there
In the place where I lived, I felt so alone
That smell of marijuana and the sound of dominoes
The kids played on the street and I full of hope
To find peace in the future, without shootings, revenge
And he came as if he didn't want anything
He kissed me and left me at the door of the house
My eyes sparkled, I was in love!
Stop being a child! My mother said
That in the beginning everything is a party and I ignored
Let me live my future, maybe
It changes nothing, silly girl, deluded, knows nothing about life
A proposal, ambition to have a family
I gave even my soul and he didn't deserve it
My drunk father, didn't even remember his daughter
My prince charming, my main actor
Called me 'fillet' and I thought it was cool
In the beginning everything is a party, always good to remember!
Today I am happy, my love came to visit me

Today my love came to visit me
And brought roses to cheer me up
And with tears asks me to come back
Today I no longer smell the perfume
My love no longer hits me
Unfortunately, I rest in peace!

In an impulsive act, I left home to be happy
Don't owe explanations, be the owner of my own nose
Couldn't stand seeing my mother suffer
Being beaten by my drunk and useless father
My brother getting involved in wrong things
Cocaine, marijuana, crime, guns
I was happy in my sweet home
Your clothes, look, I enjoyed washing
But 'poor people's joy doesn't last long', says the saying
He changed, became aggressive, irritated
Came home late from the street, that smell of booze
Lipstick on the shirt and the smell of another woman
Not even a year of marriage, living together, I don't know
I don't know for what ceremony, the important thing is to love
Fool's love, crazy love, what happened?
Told me to shut up and didn't answer me
I insisted, my bad, he hit me
The next day he said he regretted it
Who was I to judge? Wanted to forgive
Today I am happy, my love came to visit me

I was four months pregnant
He beat me so violently that I fell, fainted
When I woke up I was in a pool of blood, like
That had come out of my mouth and face
He grabbed me by my hair like that
Pulled me and said: You're going to die!

Today I no longer smell the perfume
My love no longer hits me
Unfortunately I rest in peace

Almost two years and the routine seemed like hell
I miss my mother, gave up on school
Night comes, early morning and my love didn't come
The longer he took, the more worried I was
I couldn't bear that situation
But today everything will change, whether he wants it or not
God had listened to me about two months ago
That child in my belly was hope for peace
So much advice they gave me, it was useless
I was the happiest woman, my love arrived
What a pity! Again drunk
That smell of marijuana, unmistakable, of course
I tried to calm him down, he got irritated
Started breaking everything madly, high
I said I was pregnant, he didn't listen to me
He hit me again, but this time didn't stop
Several punches to the belly, there goes the hope
Blood flowing on the floor, I lost my child
That monster who once promised to love me
Seemed uncontrollable, I couldn't avoid
Maybe if I had reported him
Maybe if I had left him aside
Now it's too late, in the hospital bed
Internal bleeding, my condition was bad
The dream was over and the heartbeat too
Hope was gone forever, amen!
Today my love begs me to come back
Kneeling, crying, unfortunately it's not possible
Now I am happy, he came to visit me
It's All Saints' Day, too late to cry

Today my love came to visit me
And brought roses to cheer me up
And with tears asks me to come back
Today I no longer smell the perfume
My love no longer hits me
Unfortunately I rest in peace!

It is very important that the limit be set by the woman
I will not accept a situation of violence in my home!
