Meu Irmão
Toquinho
My Brother
My brother,
It's been a long time
Since I sang to you
A song.
Since I told you an adventure,
A dream, an illusion.
Since I sat calmly
Next to you.
The time passes...
My brother,
With me, the days usually
Fulfill their function
Between pool, soccer,
Love and guitar.
But when the time darkens,
The storms come,
And not even blasphemies, beliefs, prayers
Help anymore,
And we lose our peace...
Then I remember you
And this memory makes me stronger.
It makes me overcome the pain
And when I fall, it lifts me up.
It makes me hold back time
And puts the whole world
In my hands...
You, my great hero,
More powerful than the enemy.
You, a constant friend,
My distant companion.
You, who all the time
Are not afraid of danger, no.
