I'll Light a Candle

I'm gonna light a candle for my bro
Who in a dark night death took away
Rest in peace up there in the sky, far from the war
Your mom at the gate still waits for you
I'm gonna light a candle for my bro
Who in a dark night death took away
Rest in peace up there in the sky, far from the war
Your mom at the gate still waits for you
I'm gonna light a candle for that bro of mine
Who in a dark night death took away
Rest in peace up there in the sky, far from the war
Pray for us from above, look at the favela
It seems like it was just yesterday when you left
It seems like your mom lost interest
In life, it's not as joyful as before
When a child dies, a piece of us is destroyed
Words she said, I remember that day well
In these times, family support means a lot
Chasing revenge is not for me
The Lord knows what's best, His punishment is worth more
Where's that dreamer bro
Destiny didn't give a chance, death took him away
I still dream of you, you're still here
Your brothers send their regards, it's hard for us
To cope with your absence all these years
What comforts is knowing you're resting
Far from the cruelty that consumes the country
The same routine, unhappy people
The good ones leave unjustly, look at the reason
Brother
A shoe, a beret, a body agonizes on the ground
If I could go back in time
I would, if I could change destiny
I would
But I'm not God, just a human being
Suffering from the loss of a friend, a bro
Who left without saying goodbye
Without saying farewell, it's hard to accept you're gone
I'm gonna light a candle for my bro
Who in a dark night death took away
Rest in peace up there in the sky, far from the war
Your mom at the gate still waits for you
I'm gonna light a candle for my bro
Who in a dark night death took away
Rest in peace up there in the sky, far from the war
Your mom at the gate still waits for you
It's All Saints' Day, I light two candles
One for you, one for the favela
Your nephew was born, looks just like you
The kid is healthy, a rare thing
He was given the same name in your honor
You didn't die, just went on a trip
One day we'll meet out there, who knows
Exchange some ideas, talk about life
Many people left after your departure
Down here, it's not good
The same old story continues
Guys killing each other, wasting their lives
In justice, your name is just paper
Stacks of tires like trophies
The law wasn't fulfilled as it should
Put it in God's hands, He's the guide
He's the guide
I'm gonna light a candle for my bro
Who in a dark night death took away
Rest in peace up there in the sky, far from the war
Your mom at the gate still waits for you
I'm gonna light a candle for my bro
Who in a dark night death took away
Rest in peace up there in the sky, far from the war
Your mom at the gate still waits for you
That holiday, the crew gathered
Enjoying that sound, feeling good
No one predicts the future, destiny is tragic
Painful, crazy
Today you're here, tomorrow no one knows
Cowardly destiny might be waiting for you
The next day, just one bullet was enough
To destroy the dream of living in peace, man
The guide, I hope you rest in peace, brother
Next to Jesus down here, Lord
We need light, strength for those mothers
Who lost their children
In the crazy life of crime, in the crazy life of drugs
The pain of a loss, I know it's tough
Knowing you'll never see that person again
At least for me, they were good people
We'd chat, they'd say they wanted a family
A home to live in, their woman, their daughter
Give everything I didn't have during my childhood
Don't throw away your dream, with faith, you'll always achieve
Started working, mom's proud
Helps as much as possible, never used drugs
Liked to have a good time on weekends
Drink a bit, see their lady
Who one day, maybe, thought of getting married
Building their family, their home
In God's faith, living in peace, owing nothing to anyone
The desired destiny, as always, doesn't come
Money means nothing, man, tell me
The greatest treasure in the world is life
That guy wanted to be happy one day
But destiny didn't give a chance, didn't allow
Didn't allow
I'm gonna light a candle for my bro
Who in a dark night death took away
Rest in peace up there in the sky, far from the war
Your mom at the gate still waits for you
I'm gonna light a candle for my bro
Who in a dark night death took away
Rest in peace up there in the sky, far from the war
Your mom at the gate still waits for you
That holiday, the crew gathered
Enjoying that sound, feeling good
No one predicts the future, destiny is tragic
Painful, crazy
