Carta ao Desviado
Samuel Mariano
Letter to the Wanderer
I
You used to live near me. Here you never lacked anything.
I've always been your father and your friend, always by your side, I don't know why you left me.
I want to tell you that I still love you, and what I desire most is to see you come back.
I promise you that here, I will throw a party when you decide to return home.
Chorus
Come back, here is your place.
Come back, I accept you just the way you are.
I know you're not well where you are!
Listen to your father's voice, beloved son, come back to me.
II
When you left, I was saddened.
I didn't stop you, as it was your decision.
Oh! How good it was when you were here!
Maybe you miss this old man.
I want to tell you that I still love you.
And what I desire most is to see you come back.
I promise you that here, I will throw a party when you decide to come back home.
