Meu Deus [English translation]

I grew up in a place

Where the patience

Most of the times doesn't work

Half truths

Run a half marathon

But the silence ends

As it comes up

My God, why

A man cries

But nobody sees it

My God, why

Sad reality in a society

Where my text disturbs them

Because it carries the truth

Little girls want to be fashionable

All because of vanity

Young boys go to jail

When they're still underaged

From an early age fighting

With the authority

Where a smirk

Takes away a friendship

Not enough food in the plate

Plenty of problems at home

Sometimes criminality is the solution

Who fought and who stayed

I close my eyes and see the pain

My granny always spoke

About my grandpa

About having principles

Be a man of value

I learned to not keep hate and bitterness

I learned to never question my Lord

But if you're by my side

Answer my question

My God, please

I grew up in a place

Where the patience

Most of the times doesn't work

Half truths

Run a half marathon

But the silence ends

As it comes up

My God, why

A man cries

But nobody sees it

My God, why

Please tell me why

Sometimes I wish I could understand

I believe in a brighter future

But the noise of the shootings

Makes me contradict myself

Please tell me why

If there's still another life

Beyond this life of mine

Or if the purpose

Is being born to die

And how worth is it to keep material goods

If in the end we're all the same

Living without ever knowing where you go

Bambino you left too early

Please tell me why

I just want to know

What to tell my daughter

She asks where you are

But I dont know

How I will answer her

I grew up in a place

Where the patience

Most of the times doesn't work

Half truths

Run a half marathon

But the silence ends

As it comes up

My God, why

A man cries

But nobody sees it

My God, why
