Minha Juventude

I was only eight years old
When we met
Down the street from my house
We played and got into mischief
And I even enrolled
In the school where she studied

And many happy years passed
Of smiles and friendship
Until one day it happened
I looked at her and kissed her
On that beautiful mouth
And she responded

And my world was spinning
And I couldn't believe
That it was so good
My youth was blossoming
And I was falling in love
With life and with my sound

And then came the day to day
And my dream grew
Of living with her forever
Studying all day
Working and singing
To have money for us

And when I was graduating
Suddenly she came
And said in front of me
I don't want to be with you anymore
Maybe I'll call you tomorrow
I want to be independent

And my world exploded
A sea of cold water came
And froze my heart
I don't know where to hide
I just keep composing
Along with my guitar

But then my mother came, in the morning
She yelled at me to get up
And I woke up startled
Told her what I had dreamed
She came to my side
And whispered in my ear

Take this, you foolish boy
Work, earn a salary
To spend on that cow
Now you're there all alone
I had warned you
And you ignored me

Now I really have nothing
Without my mother, without a girlfriend
Despised and needy
I even tried the seminary
I'll complete my ordeal
I just need to be president

Everything happened so suddenly
That voice wouldn't leave my mind
(I don't want to be with you anymore)
Everywhere I went
Someone would come and ask
How that ungrateful girl was

Every club I went to
She would show up
With a different guy
While I cried and suffered
She had more fun
And kissed in front of me

And my head was spinning
My vision was fading
And I became so brave
While I was being beaten
She laughed and shouted
And I lost another tooth

I decided it had to end
I went back to work
And sing my songs
My mother now encouraged me
And with the money I earned
I financed the recordings

And the music from my past
Exploded everywhere
I became successful and rich
I dated every TV hottie
Even had an ex-BBB
I can't believe it myself

I was loved in Brazil
In São Paulo and Rio
I even sang with the King
Cover of so many magazines
My artist story
I told on TV

And then my phone rang
A voice said my name
So sweet and needy
Now I want to be with you again
I broke up with your friend
Everything will be different

Get out, you opportunist
So clever and deceitful
I don't want to see you around
My son is now desired
He doesn't want you by his side anymore
Finally he's right

And my mother celebrated
Hugged and kissed me
Leaving me so happy
My youth was ending
And another story began
I am a man from now on
