Ja era fort [English translation]

Back then I was already strong and never lost my cool

And everything entertained me and I had learned to greet you

Happily and with the most radiant of laughs

Touching you like the strong ones, the beings who are impossible to hurt

Don't cry, child, because I won't know what to say

Don't cry, child, because you are more beautiful when you laugh

Back then I was already strong and could control my words

And create perfect worlds where I didn't care

Who you slept with today or what you'll do tomorrow afternoon,

Or think some nights...

That you are too much like who I'm looking for

Who dares to hear that they are being protected

Cupped in hands dying of cold?

And the day came, that one that I had awaited with strength

Those who have come today, tomorrow might go.

They weren't worth my tears or lighting candles for some angel

Back then I was already strong, a strong person who didn't have to chase after you...

Or is it that you don't agree with me?

Who wants a sad bedtime story?
