Full lyrics
Eu vim de longe, de bem longe, muito longe
A caminhar por onde eu nunca caminhei
Sofri, penei, tombei, tropecei, cai, mais me levantei
Saber sofrer é um dom da natureza
Mais pela vida sem sofre ninguém passou
E pra chegar esse ponto que cheguei
Sofri, penei, mais sou o que hoje sou
Translation
I came from far away, from very far away, very far away
Walking where I have never walked
I suffered, I toiled, I stumbled, I tripped, I fell, but I got up
Knowing how to suffer is a gift of nature
But no one has passed through life without suffering
And to get to this point that I have reached
I suffered, I toiled, but I am what I am today
