For My Children
After God, my little ones
I am the one who loves you the most
After God, I will love you
Even when you have gray hair
I will do the impossible, so that you never
Lack anything
It's because I love you, so much, so much
Children of my soul
If I am scolding or perhaps grumpy, or very irritable
I want to prevent you from the world's terrible evil and traps
I fell into them, they live in them, they brought tears to me
That's why today I give you advice, don't forget my words
Don't forget God, fight with love
And you will gain
Wake up early to the Sun, for that great dream
With determination and desire
If sometimes I go overboard giving you scoldings
Take it easy
I do it out of love, with my heart
Thinking about tomorrow
Walk slowly, the road is long
Take care of your steps
Don't walk with strangers, don't covet
What belongs to others
Don't forget God, fight with love
And you will gain
Wake up early to the Sun, for that great dream
With determination and desire
