Conheço Você

I know you well before you were born.
I know you.
I saw your first steps amidst smiles and hugs.
I know you.
I saw the joy of your family when you were born.
I saw with happiness the difficulty of the first steps you took.

I know you.
Much better than you.
I know you.
I follow your life with appreciation.
My child, know that I know you.
I love you, I chose you, and I never rejected you.
Among many that I saw, it was you whom I called.
That's why I say, my dear child, I know you.

Recitation:
You are not an orphan, there is a God in heaven who watches over you.
Who is telling you today: do not fear, I help you, I sustain you with the right hand of my justice.
Nothing is lost, I am the same and I can still do much more for you, lift your head because you still have a long way to go. And remember in your weaknesses: 'I know you'.

I remember a day when immense agony you called for me
You were so alone on a narrow path, oh how you cried.
No one stayed with you, I was your friend when bitterness took over your being
I was your father, your friend, your family, and your shelter.
That's why I know you.

I know you.
Much better than you.
I know you.
I follow your life with appreciation.
My child, know that I know you.
I love you, I chose you, and I never rejected you.
Among many that I saw, it was you whom I called.
That's why I say, my dear child, I know you
