Trajetória

When I arrived here
I thought I would soon smile
But so many people laughed at me
That I cried and felt lonely

My words weighed on me
And for a moment I lost myself
While fingers pointed at me
I sat down just asking to hear myself

They doubted my word
And my clumsy ways were a reason to laugh
While I stayed silent, the silence suffocated
And so many times I thought of giving up

Go home, see my parents
I miss my city
I swear it's too much
Having to explain every day about my truth

In a house without peace
Without the embrace of those who know me
Little by little, every day more
I carry in my heart the strength of my Northeast

I'm going home to see my parents
Feel on my skin the love of my Northeast
And understand all that I was capable of
See my friends and those who know me

I'm going home to have my peace
And forget everything that saddens me
I'll cry without needing to dry
My truth is what makes me great
I'll smile without having to explain
Because I have the grace from my Northeast

Little by little, every day more
I carry in my heart the strength of my
Northeast
