Nono mandamento
Nelson Gonçalves
Ninth Commandment
Lord,
Here I am on my knees
Bringing the red eyes
From crying, because I sinned
Lord,
It was a momentary mistake
I didn't fulfill the commandment
The ninth of your law
Lord,
I liked her so much
But I didn't know that she
Belonged to another
Forgive me,
For this blind love
For this cross I carry
Day and night, night and day
Lord,
Give me your penance
Almost always unconsciousness
Brings remorse afterwards
Send,
For this common case
Acceptance for one
Happiness for two...
