Canção da Família

Today I felt nostalgic
For a time that won't come back
Today I felt the desire
To be closer to my parents

To be a child again
With fights with my brother
School and video games
Were our concern

Mom shouted from the kitchen
Son, the table is ready
Our family gathered
Dinner was so simple
I remember we used to complain
But today all I wanted was to go back

Why do we grow up
And things change places?
Why only when we lose
Do we learn to appreciate?

I can't go back in time
It's no use even trying
What remains for me today
Is to enjoy today itself

Saying I love you so many times
Until the other gets tired
Giving a long hug
And forgiving without delay
Calling the family more often
And talking without rush

Certainly things will continue to change
Certainly things will continue to pass
And what remains for me is just to transform today
