Full lyrics
Do amor eu não esqueço
Que ele me ofereceu
Das canções que ouvia
Sua voz sempre exerceu
Num mundo tão ingrato
Que Deus levou não sei porque
No norte ele era querido
Mas ninguém o esqueceu
Seu nome vai ser lembrado
Na cidade ou no sertão
Ô Pai sou eu, Sou eu que estou aqui
Ô Pai sou eu, e ninguém toma de mim
Translation
Of the love, I don't forget
That he offered me
Of the songs I heard
His voice always exerted
In such an ungrateful world
That God took, I don't know why
In the north, he was loved
But no one forgot him
His name will be remembered
In the city or in the backlands
Oh Father, it's me, it's me who is here
Oh Father, it's me, and no one takes it from me
Oh Father, it's me, it's me who is here
Oh Father, it's me, and no one takes it from me
