Aos Nossos Filhos

Forgive the frowning facePerdoem a cara amarrada
Forgive the lack of hugPerdoem a falta de abraço
Forgive the lack of spacePerdoem a falta de espaço
The days were like thisOs dias eram assim

Forgive for so many threatsPerdoem por tantos perigos
Forgive the lack of shelterPerdoem a falta de abrigo
Forgive the lack of friendsPerdoem a falta de amigos
The days were like thisOs dias eram assim

Forgive the lack of tree leavesPerdoem a falta de folhas
Forgive the lack of airPerdoem a falta de ar
Forgive the lack of choicePerdoem a falta de escolha
The days were like thisOs dias eram assim

And when cleaning it upE quando passarem a limpo
And when cutting the tiesE quando cortarem os laços
And when unbuckling your seatbeltsE quando soltarem os cintos
Throw the party for meFaçam a festa por mim

And when letting go of the hurtE quando largarem a mágoa
And when washing the soulE quando lavarem a alma
And when washing the waterE quando lavarem a água
Wash the eyes for meLavem os olhos por mim

When the flowers bloomQuando brotarem as flores
When the forests grewQuando crescerem as matas
When reap the fruitsQuando colherem os frutos
Say the taste for meDigam o gosto pra mim

Say the taste for meDigam o gosto pra mim
