I Told My Children lyrics

I already told them I keep talking about it I only speak of love I tell of respect And how beautiful the flower is That a heart must know how to love I also told them That your life passed through my life Noble, pure soul, beautiful and so suffering You told me the secret and I revealed it to you There in paradise I am waiting for you, my dear grandson You can bet life is eternal Embrace this pain with peace and emotion Your wise advice Lives in my heart, in my thoughts It is always striking in my way But I am so alone, I am so lonely It's been so long That I've been searching for this remedy for my healing This pain so strong, it hurts, it tortures me It's an arrow stuck in my heart But I don't give up I know he exists, his name is Jesus Christ The wise old Olímpio told me And it remained guarded in my heart
