De Pai Pra Filho
Mano Lima
From Father to Son
My son, take my path
When I change my abode
And take good care of this troop
That's trotting down the road
These are verses of a simple man
Songs of the countryside and wanderings
That I collected from the roads
Stumbling upon so many memories
My father, I carry forward
Everything I have learned
The faith in God and the certainty
That in Him nothing is lost
I carry our friendship
On the back of my sorrel horse
For nothing and no one separates
A father from the steps of his son
In the name of the father, the strength
That comes from old experience
In the name of the son, the dream
To renew the homeland
Songs of father and son
Blessing their song
As if it were a tuned breath
From the Holy Spirit Himself
My son, follow the path
Always loyal and straight
And treat your fellow man
With equality and respect
Seek the return of things
Don't always choose the shortcuts
And only buy what
You can pay for with your work
My father, with your example
I'm not afraid of anything
And I keep growing in virtue
In your friendly friendship
I was once a boy and now a young man
I relive what I've already lived
To teach my children
Everything I carry from you
In the name of the father, the strength
That comes from old experience
In the name of the son, the dream
To renew the homeland
Songs of father and son
Blessing their song
As if it were a tuned breath
From the Holy Spirit Himself
