The man who had nothing woke up early
With the sunlight since he doesn't have an alarm clock
He had nothing, so he wasn't afraid either
And he went to fight like a good worker does
The man who had nothing faced a crowded train
At seven in the morning with a smile on his face
He said goodbye to his wife with a wet kiss
To prove his love and mark his place
The man who had nothing had everything
Arthritis, arthritis, diabetes, and whatever else
But he had a lot of content in his soul
And even though he had almost nothing, he still had faith
The man who had nothing had a job
With a mop cleaning that endless floor
Even if someone purposely dirtied the floor
He would smile happily and say like this
Human beings are flawed, today I failed too
No one is born knowing, so let me try
Human beings are flawed, today I failed too
No one is born knowing, so let me try
The man who had nothing had Marizete
Maria Flor, Marina, Mari, I want to be the smallest
One was nine, one was twelve, another was seventeen
The forty-year-old was always his greatest love
The man who had nothing had a problem
One day before, his electricity was cut off
He climbed the pole, experienced, made his plan
But at night, he reinforced his request to Jesus
The man who had nothing followed his path
Same route, same time, but it was different
He called home to say he loved his family
I think he already sensed what was coming ahead
Met another man who had nothing
He wanted the little that he had, in other words, nothing
In the paranoia of those who don't win, they attack you
The man who had nothing, now had no life
He left behind three children and his wife
People burned tires, closed the avenue
And wrote on the asphalt 'missing Josué'
Human beings are flawed, today I failed too
No one is born knowing, so let me try
Human beings are flawed, today I failed too
No one is born knowing, so let me try
