Rosas

Every fifteen seconds a woman is attacked in Brazil
And reality is not rosy at all
Every year, two million women are beaten
By husbands or boyfriends

Today my love came to visit me
And he brought roses to cheer me up
And with tears he asks me to come back
Today I can't smell the perfume anymore
My love doesn't beat me anymore
Unfortunately I rest in peace!

Everything was beautiful in the beginning, remember?
Of the things you told me were good, seduction
A love story, several plans, desire, illusion
So what? I had nothing to lose, I 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 were playing in the street and I was full of hope
To find peace in the future, without shooting, revenge
And he came as if he didn't want anything
He gave me a kiss and left me at the door of my house
My eyes were shining, I was in love!
Stop being a child! My mother said
That in the beginning everything is a party and I ignored it
Let me live my future, if you want
It doesn't change anything, you silly, deluded girl, you know nothing about life
A proposal, ambition to have a family
I gave my soul and he didn't deserve it
My father, drunk, didn't even remember his daughter
My prince charming, my leading man
He called me fillet and I thought it was cool
In the beginning, everything is a party, it's always good to remember!
Today I am happy, my love came to visit me

Today my love came to visit me
And he brought roses to cheer me up
And with tears he asks me to come back
Today I can't smell the perfume anymore
My love doesn't beat me anymore
Unfortunately I rest in peace!

In a thoughtless act, he leaves home to be happy
Not having to answer for anything, being the boss of my own life
I couldn't stand to see my mother suffering anymore
Getting beaten up by my drunk father for no reason
My brother getting involved with the wrong stuff
Cocaine, marijuana, 157, Weapons
I was happy in my home sweet home
Your clothes, look, I enjoyed washing them
But the joy of the poor is short-lived, as the saying goes
He became different, aggressive, angry
I arrived late from the street, that breath of booze
Lipstick on the shirt and the smell of a girl
Not even a year of marriage, together, I don't know
I don't know what ceremony is for, the important thing is to love
Fool's love, crazy love, what happened?
He told me to shut up and didn't answer me
I insisted, sorry, he hit me
The other day he told me he regretted it
Who was I to judge? I wanted to forgive
Today I am happy my love came to visit me

I was four months pregnant
He beat me so badly that I fell down and passed out
Then when I woke up I was in a pool of blood, like this
That had come out of my mouth and my face
He picked me up like this by my hair
He pulled me and said: You're going to die!

Today I can't smell the perfume anymore
My love doesn't beat me anymore
Unfortunately I rest in peace

Almost two years and the routine seemed like hell
I miss my mother so much, I dropped out of school
The night arrives, dawn and my love didn't come
The longer I waited, worried, the more I feared
I couldn't handle that situation
But today everything will change, whether he likes it or not
God had heard me about two months ago
That child in her belly was hope for peace
They gave me so much advice, it was all for nothing
I was the happiest woman, my love arrived
What a shame! Drunk again
That unmistakable smell of marijuana, of course
I tried to calm him down, he got angry
He started breaking everything like crazy, back
I told him I was pregnant, he didn't listen to me
He hit me again, but this time he didn't stop
Several punches in the belly, there goes hope
Blood runs on the floor, I lost my child
That monster who once promised to love me
It seemed uncontrollable, I couldn't help it
Maybe if I had reported him
Maybe if I had left it aside
Now it's late, in the hospital bed
Internal bleeding, my condition was bad
The dream was over and so was the heartbeat
Hope is gone forever, and amen!
Today my love begs me to come back
Kneeling, crying, unfortunately it doesn't work
Now I'm happy, he came to visit me
It's All Souls' Day, too late to cry

Today my love came to visit me
And he brought roses to cheer me up
And with tears he asks me to come back
Today I can't smell the perfume anymore
My love doesn't beat me anymore
Unfortunately I rest in peace!

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