Pai Grande
Milton Nascimento
Great Father
My great father
I still remember and how I miss you
Saying: I already raised your father, today I will raise you
I still have a lot of life to live
My great father
I wish I had your strength to tell
The story of the warriors brought from afar
Brought from afar, without your peace
From my longing you come to tell
Where I came from
It's good to remember
Every true man
Was strong and without malice
Could love
Could see
Every son of yours
Following the steps
And a little corner to die
Where I came from
I won't cry
I don't want to leave anymore
My people are now
If I'm here
I brought from there
A love so far from lies
I want whoever wants to love me
