Canção da Família
Pedro Valença
Family Song
Today I felt nostalgic
For a time that won't come back
Today I felt the desire
To be closer to my parents
To be a child again
With fights with my brother
School and video games
Were our concern
Mom shouted from the kitchen
Son, the table is ready
Our family gathered
Dinner was so simple
I remember we used to complain
But today all I wanted was to go back
Why do we grow up
And things change places?
Why only when we lose
Do we learn to appreciate?
I can't go back in time
It's no use even trying
What remains for me today
Is to enjoy today itself
Saying I love you so many times
Until the other gets tired
Giving a long hug
And forgiving without delay
Calling the family more often
And talking without rush
Certainly things will continue to change
Certainly things will continue to pass
And what remains for me is just to transform today
