Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Eu aprendi ganhar perdendo

I learned to win by losing

Subir descendo e nunca desisti

Climbing down and never giving up

E todo o meu sofrimento não teve lamento

And all my suffering had no lament

Nunca me diminui

I never diminished myself


Eu desde menininho trabalhava na cidade

Since I was a little boy, I worked in the city

E meus amigos iam estudar

And my friends went to study

Minha mãe tão pobrezinha

My mother, so poor

Não pôde pagar escola

Couldn't afford school

Na rua onde eu fui me formar

In the street where I graduated


E quando anoitecia a criançada iam para a praça

And when it got dark, the kids went to the square

Todos tinha tudo para brincar

Everyone had everything to play with

Eu senti inveja pois não tinha um carrinho

I felt envious because I didn't have a little car

Uma sandália eu tinha para calçar

I had one sandal to wear


Eu aprendi ganhar perdendo

I learned to win by losing

Subir descendo e nunca desisti

Climbing down and never giving up

E dentro do meu sofrimento não teve lamento

And within my suffering, there was no lament

Nunca me diminui

I never diminished myself


Hoje eu fico feliz, de ver meus amigos doutor

Today I am happy to see my friends as doctors

E vendo isso eu me sinto bem

And seeing that, I feel good

Eu nunca desisti, e também sou alguém na vida

I never gave up, and I am someone in life too

Na minha história eu cheguei mais além

In my story, I went further


O que me intristece é ver um dos meus colegas

What saddens me is to see one of my colleagues

Que ainda hoje tá no meu sertão

Who is still in my hinterland today

Ele trabalha duro no Sol quente o dia inteiro

He works hard in the hot sun all day

E no final ainda lhe falta o pão

And in the end, he still lacks bread


Eu aprendi ganhar perdendo

I learned to win by losing

Subir descendo e nunca desisti

Climbing down and never giving up

E dentro do meu sofrimento não teve lamento

And within my suffering, there was no lament

Nunca me diminui

I never diminished myself


Eu aprendi ganhar perdendo

I learned to win by losing

Subir descendo e nunca desisti

Climbing down and never giving up

E dentro do meu sofrimento não teve lamento

And within my suffering, there was no lament

Nunca me diminui

I never diminished myself
