A Carta do Rei

A bloody battle, a soldier was wounded
And losing a lot of blood, I couldn't fight
And he said to his companion
Come kill me quickly, I can't walk anymore
And he said, I cannot
I'll ask the commander, let him order
The blood is running
I don't decide alone, I have to consult myself

Wounded soldier, the King is counting on you
Even with the blood flowing and the strength running out, we must fight
Wounded soldier, the King sends you word
The war is ending, win this battle
The King is counting on you

When the commander learned what had happened
In the middle of the battle a soldier is injured
And he asked his companion: Come kill me quickly
I can't suffer anymore
He immediately sent a letter, telling the King what was happening
And the King answered him
Oh wounded soldier, you cannot die
The King is counting on you

When the soldier read the letter he received
From your glorious King brought by his messenger
He drew his sword
And he invited his companion to face the enemy
Everyone wanted to know what had happened to the wounded soldier
In the King's letter it was written: The King is counting on you
