Coração De Luto

The biggest blow in the world
That I ever took in my life
Was when at nine years old
I lost my dear mother

She died burned in the fire
A sad and painful death
That made my little mom
Say her final goodbye

I was coming home from school
When I spotted from afar
The house where we lived
I found it full of people

Before anyone could tell me
I already imagined
That it was a death
Of the mom I loved

A black coffin followed
In a cart pulled by oxen
I walked beside it crying
The sad separation

When we reached the graveyard
The exclamations grew loud
They covered with cold dirt
My mother of the heart

From there I left crying
Led by a stranger's hand
But it didn't take two months
Before I was thrown into this world

With my mother's death
I was lost and confused
At just nine years old
Thrown into this world

I faced hunger and cold
In this lost world
When mom was alive
She told me: Dear son

Not to steal, not to kill
Not to hurt, not to be hurt
Rest in peace, my mom
I will fulfill your request

What remains in my mind
My little mom is your shadow
Receive a prayer
From this son who is your fruit

Who carries within his chest
Your hidden feelings
Since I was nine years old
I’ve had my heart in mourning
