Dia de Formatura

If he asks
If my son asks me today
Where is daddy
Why has he never come to visit us?

If he asks
Today as he graduates and becomes a doctor
Where is daddy?
I will tell him about this love of mine

When your father found out I would have a child
Our first
He didn't want to accept and only wanted to kill
The first heir

I chose to lose my husband
The man I wanted the most
To have you
Whom I already carried and didn't even know

If he asks
Today I am willing to tell the truth
Your father didn't die
He's out there in the same city

If he asks
Why I still humiliate myself to this day
He will know
That a real man doesn't kill his own child

I went into battle
I was a washerwoman, faced life
But I won the war
Because in this world, nothing intimidates me

But it was worth it
I faced this tough life alone
To get here
And now witness this graduation

If he asks
I might not even say anything to him
Start to cry
For what I went through on this long road

If he asks me
Why do you cry so much, mommy?
I will explain to him
That I have never been so happy until today
