O Homem
Erasmo Carlos
The Man
One day a man was here
Had the most beautiful gaze that ever existed
Had in his singing a prayer
In speaking the most beautiful song
That has ever been heard
His voice spoke only of love
Every gesture of his was of love and peace
He carried in his heart
He walked through the fields
Climbed the mountains and spoke of the greatest love
Made the light shine in the darkness
The Sun rise in every heart
That understood
That beyond the life we have
There is another life beyond and so
To be reborn, to die is not the end
Everything he left here
Did not pass and will always exist
Flowers where he stepped
And the right path to follow
I know he will come back one day
And search in the same fields for what he planted
And harvest what good was born
Cry for the seed that died
Without blooming
But there is still time to plant
To make the flower of good grow within
To give him
When he arrives here
Everything he left here
Did not pass and will always exist
Flowers where he stepped
And the right path to follow
