A Carta do Rei

A bloody battle, a soldier was injured
And losing a lot of blood I couldn't fight
And told his companion
Come kill me quickly, I can't but walk
And he said: I cannot
I'll ask the commander, let him order
The blood is running
I don't decide alone, I have to consult myself

Wounded soldier, the King counts on you
Even with blood flowing and strength running out, you have to fight
Wounded soldier, the King tells you
The war is ending, win this battle again
The King counts on you

When the commander found out what had happened
In the middle of the battle a soldier is injured
And he asked his companion: Come and kill me quickly
I do not want to suffer anymore
He immediately sent a letter, telling the King what was happening
And the King answered him
Oh wounded soldier, you cannot die
The King counts on you

When the soldier read the letter he received
From your glorious King brought by his messenger
Unsheathed the sword
And invited his companion to face the enemy
Everyone wanted to know what had happened to the injured soldier
In the King's letter it was written like this: The King counts on you
