Eu Aprendi Ganhar Perdendo

I learned to win by losing, going up and down
And I never gave up, and from all my suffering
There was no regret, it never diminished me

Since I was a little boy, I worked in the city
My friends went to study
My poor mother couldn't afford to pay for school
In the street where I grew up

And when night fell, the kids went to the square
Everyone had everything to play with
And I felt envious because I didn't have a toy car
I only had one sandal to wear

I learned to win by losing, going up and down
And I never gave up, all my suffering had no regret
It never diminished me

Today I am happy to see my friends as doctors
Seeing that makes me feel good, I never gave up
And I am also someone in life
In my story, I have gone further
What saddens me is to see one of my classmates
Who is still in my hometown today
He works hard in the hot sun all day
And in the end, he still lacks bread

I learned to win by losing, going up and down
And I never gave up, and from all my suffering
There was no regret, it never diminished me

I learned to win by losing, going up and down
And I never gave up, and from all my suffering
There was no regret, it never diminished me
