Good night my dears
To begin with, I never thought I could do that, I just don't think I have it in me, but after a translation of one of the most beautiful Portuguese "fados" I did to send to a dear friend, the idea hit me like a thunder.
And so, at first I just try to change some lines to the lyric and dedicate to my father, only...I couldn't, no, I just couldn't change only a few words, I have to make it for him, and for me as well, and that's what I did...
To you my HERO, my DAD, who had to handle 21 years ago with something no parent wants and should, for you... with so many tears shed while writing and listening... HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
I don’t know
And no one else knows the reason why
On this dark day of ache and mourning
With all my being tormented in warning
Something within me reassures and cry
I don’t know
It was God
That lit the eyes, perfumed the roses
Gild the sun and silver the moonlight
And filled the sky with stars so bright
That a glimpse the sadness imposes
It was God
That planted in our hearts
The heavy painful burden
Caught us all of a sudden
Embraces us and departs
It was God
And, He took him away from us
If I write
Don’t know about what, a mix of craving
Longing, bliss, love and maybe mistrust
Only know is the same to feel a disgust
And tears in the face leave you rejoicing
If I write
It was God
Who voiced the wind, lighted the firmament
Painted the blue sea and the spring flowers
And gave all who are suffering superpowers
To mask the grief and sorrow into a garment
It was God
That planted in our hearts
The heavy painful burden
Caught us all of a sudden
Embraces us and departs
It was God
And … He took him away from us!
