Marvin

My father had no education
I still remember, he had a big heart
He earned a living with a lot of sweat
And even so, it couldn't be worse
Little money to be able to pay
All the bills and expenses of the home

But God wanted to see him on the ground with his hands
Raised to the sky, begging for forgiveness
I cried, my father said: Good luck
With his hand on my shoulder, on his deathbed

And he said: Marvin
Now it's just you
And it won't help
Crying will make me suffer

And three days after he died
My father, I wanted to know
But I didn't even set foot in school
Mom reminded me of that all the time
And every day before the sun rose
I worked without getting distracted

Sometimes I think it won't work out
I wanted to run away, but wherever I am
I know very well what he meant
My father, I remember
Don't let me forget

He said: Marvin
Life is worth it
I did my best
And I know your destiny by heart

And then one day a heavy rain came
And ruined a year's work
And at thirteen years old I felt
The weight of the world on my shoulders
I wanted to give up, but I lost the bet

And I worked like a donkey in the fields
I only saw meat if I stole a chicken
My father took care of the whole family
Without realizing, I followed the same path
And every night my mother prayed
God, it was in the name of hunger that I stole

Ten years passed, my brothers grew up
And the angels took my mother by the hands
I cried, my father said: Good luck
With his hand on my shoulder, on his deathbed

And he said: Marvin
Now it's just you
And it won't help
Crying will make me suffer

Marvin
Life is worth it
I did my best
And I know your destiny by heart

Marvin
Now it's just you
And it won't help
Crying will make me suffer

Marvin
Life is worth it
I did my best
And I know your destiny by heart
