Full lyrics
Pela escada da gloria eu subi
Lutei com dificuldade e venci
Devo agradecer ao criador que me ajudou
Hoje não sou mais um sofredor
Sei, já sou feliz e vivo a gargalhar
Sim, por isso eu vivo a cantar, porque
A felicidade veio me procurar
Translation
I climbed the ladder of glory
I fought with difficulty and won
I must thank the creator who helped me
Today I am no longer a sufferer
I know, I am already happy and live laughing
Yes, that's why I live to sing, because
Happiness came looking for me
