Antes Que Noite Chegue

There are many people in day-to-day
Of this life that is a challenge
They have no words other than lament
And complaints about existing
Their lives are poorly lived
An uncontained pain from within their being
I say this, as I have also been a victim
Of those who only oppress, and today I can say

Before night comes, it is necessary to change
Before night comes, it is necessary to be born
Before night comes, it is necessary to die
Before night comes, it is necessary to live

I hear someone talking about freedom
When they are nothing but in chains
It reminds me of the beloved master
When he told his people
That whoever practices sin
Is a slave to sin, this one did not live
For he is tied to sin
He is a poor wretch, isolated from God
