Nunca Roubei

I left Huambo for Luanda
It was hard to leave my neighborhood behind
I came on a military flight
I couldn’t take it anymore
I will never forget that day, that day
It was tough because I had to tell my family, ah
We have a death, our uncle passed away, eh
At the time I was twelve years old and I didn’t know, eh
What to do with my life
Because everything was tight
I fought hard in this life
Almost no one was by my side

I never stole
And I'm not an heir
I never stole
Anything from anyone

I never stole
And I'm not an heir
I never stole
Anything from anyone
It’s only fair that I have everything I own
It’s only fair that I have everything I own

Oh Father
I come to thank you with all my heart
Oh Mother
Thank you for giving me an education
For making me the man I am today
(The man I am today)
Thank God we’ve come far
(We’ve come far today)

Oh my wife
I don’t know how to thank you
You suffered with me when I was in a wheelchair
You loved me when I wasn’t in fashion

Nowadays, I have success
And I pray to God for health and wealth
The greatest wealth I have
Is that I deserve my children and my wife
The only thing I have is you, my family

I never stole
And I'm not an heir
I never stole
Anything from anyone

I never stole
And I'm not an heir
I never stole
Anything from anyone
It’s only fair that I have everything I own
It’s only fair that I have everything I own
