Parada Errada
Beth Carvalho
Wrong Stop
I’ll never forget
The day I felt you
Inside of me, oh, my baby
My beautiful and beloved child
It was when the father who made you
To add to the chaos
Vanished from the world and disappeared for good
Leaving us all alone
To complete the pregnancy was tough
No medicine, no bread
Nothing at all
Just advice to take you away from me
But to whom God promised, never lacked
On that day, at that hour, you arrived
And everything I couldn’t have
I chased after for you to have
You lacked no education, love
You lacked nothing
So tell me why you
Thought it was okay to get lost
Without needing to, you got involved
With this so-called wrong stop
And on the stone where I see you
In the underworld suffering
I imagine the crackhead you could’ve been
But even if it’s in my life
The last thing I’ll do
Is save you, God willing
Set you free, I have faith
You won’t stay lost
At the bottom of the well hidden
In this damn life
That suffers for choosing it
You’ll return to the place
From where you shouldn’t have left
My home is our haven
Your place isn’t on the street
If you want to come back
You can enter, the house is yours
