Na Dor de Uma Lágrima

For those who left, for those who stayed
Of what goes, of who remains
Only God explains, only God can explain
To accept it, that's just life
I do my part, I do my part; I do

Life goes on, heading towards death, I know
(But I haven't gotten used to it)
With corpses, flowers in a coffin
Tears and pain inside a heart

I don't care what the weather's like, no
A day of mourning is so much suffering, so
A silence takes over those who cry inside
And a word of lament can't ease
This sad moment for those who ceased to exist
Who will never cry again, or even smile
The dark sky holds a storm that won't calm
Is it rain or fury, God crying for the soul?
I don't know, I can't understand because I'm just a sinner
A sinner who can feel there's light up there in the sky
Ready to forgive someone who just died
On a journey to the beyond
And nothing surpasses the pain of those left behind
The family, the parents, the children cry too much
The bell tolls to close the coffin
With shouting, with crying, the pastor finishes his prayer
Even knowing that in that body there's no life
The feeling of loss hits at the moment of departure
Carrying a rose, I approached the grave
With that tightness in my chest, I express my feelings
The crowd switches hands to carry the body
And I watching that scene, saw that life is a breath
That death sucks back in the last gasp
The weight of the world took six more spirits
A minute of silence, I had these thoughts
I only came back to myself because during that burial
Someone shouted and I heard
God, my eyes won't hold up

A tear rolls
Just a drop and nothing more
This world is a river of blood
A tear rolls
My tear, the extra one
Maybe it’s not that important
A tear rolls
Just a drop and nothing more
In this world gushing blood
A tear rolls
Just a drop asking for peace
Just a tear and nothing more

Songs of life in sad notes
True songs, never fleeting
Always playing a song
That stirs your heart
Then the longing comes
Makes you remember someone
A sad, lamentable, almost unacceptable fact
But it was written this way, every beginning has an end
Only memories and good recollections should remain
To keep living
So you don't keep suffering
Look, human, the sky is smiling
The devil is killing but Jesus Christ is coming
That's what drives me, my faith gives me certainty
To die in vain, no, to die in Christ, so be it
Accepting that someone you love is gone is hard
In the game of life, God's rule isn't easy
I make a sacrifice, just to not cry
Even crying all the time
You don't see it but I cry inside
Peace, who am I to give you?
But light a candle
I'm its messenger
I'm sad about everything
Maybe for being true
I'm afraid of the world
But with the courage of a warrior
The strong also cry
That's so common
Men are sentimental
Among a thousand, I'm just one more
A rock on the outside
That doesn't hear the crying
Because the pain of my tear
Is the harmony of my choir

A tear rolls
Just a drop and nothing more
Floating in a river of blood
A tear rolls
My tear, the extra one
Maybe it’s not that important
A tear rolls
Just a drop and nothing more
In this world gushing blood
A tear rolls
Just a drop asking for peace
Just a tear and nothing more

Tired, hurt
With fear and with courage
My heart beats like this
More loss than gain
And at almost thirty years old
This is how I see myself
Without fantasies, without desires
I don't plan anything in this world anymore
Actually, I never was one to plan, ha
Because tomorrow I don't even know if I'll wake up
It was yesterday, it's today, and tomorrow
Who knows if I’ll get there
We are part of a story that only God created
I'm just another character
In this world of horror
I play the role of a writer
I write the pain of a tear
Sentimental I am
With love and with hurt
Until the final point of the paper arrives
That was never the main thing here on earth
But I have faith in heaven
I only believe in heaven
And paradise exists, man
From brother to brother
I don't need a thousand tears
To show my pain
I express it by activating my suffering
I am a composer
Of peace
Of hate
Of war and of love
God sent the word
When I sang, you cried
I don't want to see anyone sad
Or crying from sadness
Just believe that God exists
To understand what I want to say
Don't tell God
That you have a problem, oh
Tell your problem that you have
A bigger God
Crying too much doesn't help
That's why I sing
Who sings drives away the evils, man
I don't live in tears
Human being, make your life
A song, don't cry
Before the chorus, I came to tell you
Listen to me and remember

You need to believe
That there's a better plan
For the many hearts
That returned to ashes
And from ashes to dust
It's not alone, it didn't die (the spirit is eternal)
Just resting another spirit (be it in heaven)
Whose body fell asleep (in hell)
Thus it has always been written
Man read but didn't understand
How heavy is the drop of a tear
Of the blood that flows
In the eyes of God

A tear rolls
Just a drop and nothing more
Floating in a river of blood
A tear rolls
My tear, the extra one
Maybe it’s not that important
A tear rolls
Just a drop and nothing more
In this world gushing blood
A tear rolls
The pain of a tear is great

Between earth and sky
Today I'm here, tomorrow I might be there
I'm in the pain of a tear
