Manotaços

I carry in my hands
The marks of yesterday
I have lost the fear
Because I learned
I learned to be brave
In this path of mine
Many times alone
But I made it here

I took big slaps
Because life is rough
I fought as I could
And I didn't give up
Without springs
In my barren chest
I lived on dreams
But I loved everything

I dreamed of freedom
But I didn't want to deceive myself
We are different
Classes are not the same
Today I fear the distance
That denies the past
Where I lassoed my plans
To achieve ideals

I took big slaps
For thinking of equality
They denied me space
But still, I planted
I don't care about the return
What matters is that I did it
It was in the strength of my arm
That I sustained the root.
