I Told My Children

I already told them
I keep talking about it
I only speak of love
I tell of respect
And how beautiful the flower is
That a heart must know how to love

I also told them
That your life passed through my life
Noble, pure soul, beautiful and so suffering
You told me the secret and I revealed it to you

There in paradise
I am waiting for you, my dear grandson
You can bet life is eternal
Embrace this pain with peace and emotion

Your wise advice
Lives in my heart, in my thoughts
It is always striking in my way
But I am so alone, I am so lonely

It's been so long
That I've been searching for this remedy for my healing
This pain so strong, it hurts, it tortures me
It's an arrow stuck in my heart

But I don't give up
I know he exists, his name is Jesus Christ
The wise old Olímpio told me
And it remained guarded in my heart
