Eu Aprendi Ganhar Perdendo
Eu aprendi ganhar perdendo, subindo e descendo
E nunca desisti, e de todo o meu sofrimento
Não teve lamento, nunca me diminui
Eu desde de menininho trabalhava na cidade
Meus amigos iam estudar
Minha mãe tão pobrezinha não pôde pagar escola
Na rua onde eu fui me formar
E quando anoitecia a criançada ia pra praça
Todos tinham tudo pra brincar
E eu sentia inveja pois não tinha um carrinho
Uma sandália tinha pra calçar
Eu aprendi ganhar perdendo, subindo e descendo
E nunca desisti, tudo do meu sofrimento não teve lamento
Nunca me diminui
Hoje eu fico feliz em ver meus amigos doutor
Vendo isso eu me sinto bem, eu nunca desisti
E também sou alguém na vida
Na minha história cheguei mais além
O que me entristece é ver um dos meus colegas
Que ainda hoje está no meu sertão
Ele trabalha duro no Sol quente o dia inteiro
E no final ainda lhe falta o pão
Eu aprendi ganhar perdendo, subindo e descendo
E nunca desisti, e de todo o meu sofrimento
Não teve lamento, nunca me diminui
Eu aprendi ganhar perdendo subindo e descendo
E nunca desisti, e de todo o meu sofrimento
Não teve lamento, nunca me diminui
I Learned to Win by Losing
I learned to win by losing, going up and down
And I never gave up, and from all my suffering
There was no regret, it never diminished me
Since I was a little boy, I worked in the city
My friends went to study
My poor mother couldn't afford to pay for school
In the street where I grew up
And when night fell, the kids went to the square
Everyone had everything to play with
And I felt envious because I didn't have a toy car
I only had one sandal to wear
I learned to win by losing, going up and down
And I never gave up, all my suffering had no regret
It never diminished me
Today I am happy to see my friends as doctors
Seeing that makes me feel good, I never gave up
And I am also someone in life
In my story, I have gone further
What saddens me is to see one of my classmates
Who is still in my hometown today
He works hard in the hot sun all day
And in the end, he still lacks bread
I learned to win by losing, going up and down
And I never gave up, and from all my suffering
There was no regret, it never diminished me
I learned to win by losing, going up and down
And I never gave up, and from all my suffering
There was no regret, it never diminished me
