'Cause I love you too much, too much

Your love made me live

And when I look back, back

At all times, I see you

'Cause I love you too much, too much

Your love made me live

And when I look back, back

At all times, I see you

How many times have you cried, 'cause I hurt you

'Cause I hurt you, but every time I cried too

And I say, that I would cry every time necessary, in front of you

If my crying made you smile

My legs were taken from me when my mother left

But like a miracle, you rebuilt them

Got me walking again, got me dreaming again

Made me somebody, really, fuck it

I'm sorry for that swear word

You didn't fail in education, I'm an expert in naughtiness

I'm a constant wanderer, a walking sin

But your look of pride is what still makes me sing

I hope I was a good son, go

Pray for me so that I become a good father

Warrior, you made me a warrior

And even if I leave home, you don't leave my chest

'Cause I love you too much, too much

Your love made me live

And when I look back, back

At all times, I see you

'Cause I love you too much, too much

Your love made me live

And when I look back, back

At all times, I see you

How many times have you smiled, because the struggle was not in vain

I remember my father's sweat and my brother's crying

I remember, the feeling of loneliness in each bus

But I comfort myself because even far away I almost hear your prayer

And come, a peace that warms my soul

How many times did they cut the light and I had to ask you to calm down

If I didn't steal, it was for rap and also for you

Several times I held back, because I couldn't see you suffer

And she runs to the window to see me, leaving

I look again just to say, 'I'm going'

With the look of someone who leaves without will

With my chest overflowing with hope, perseverance and longing

My dream was to see my father well, to see Cris well

See you alright, even though I wasn't alright

I go further, I don't care about the consequences

This is my essence Who did I pull for?

'Cause I love you too much, too much

Your love made me live

And when I look back, back

At all times, I see you

'Cause I love you too much, too much

Your love made me live

And when I look back, back

At all times, I see you

Between all the loves that came and went, you stayed

All the pains you gave me are gone, for you healed

They put my valuables on a platter, they weighed

They said nothing was worthwhile, yet you bought it

They believed that my dream was much more than mine

On every stage I step on, I carry so much more than I do

Today they talk about Projota because of my attitudes

But Projota talks about Nequinha, Cris and Dona Lourdes

'Cause at any given moment

In any part of my life, it will be you!

malcriação — misbehavior / ill-breeding

Malcriação translates to "misbehavior" or "ill-breeding". It's a less common word than simply saying "bad behavior" and carries a slightly stronger connotation of being poorly raised or having a lack of manners.

In the song, Projota uses it to describe his own rebellious nature, saying, "Eu que sou um perito em malcriação" (I am an expert in misbehavior). This word choice adds a layer of self-awareness and a touch of humility, acknowledging his flaws despite his mother's good upbringing.

Projota's "Dona Lourdes" is a heartfelt tribute to the unwavering love and support of a mother figure. He expresses immense gratitude, repeating, "Porque eu te amo demais, demais / O seu amor me fez viver" [Because I love you too much, too much / Your love made me live]. It's clear that her love has been a constant source of strength, as he looks back and sees her "Em todos momentos" [In all moments].

The song also touches on Projota's personal struggles and growth. He admits to causing her pain, saying, "Quantas vezes você chorou, porque eu te machuquei" [How many times you cried because I hurt you], but also acknowledges her miraculous ability to help him recover from loss, stating, "Minhas pernas foram tiradas de mim quando minha mãe partiu / Mas como um milagre, você as reconstruiu" [My legs were taken from me when my mother left / But like a miracle, you rebuilt them]. This song is a powerful declaration of love and appreciation for the woman who shaped him, even through his imperfections, and a promise to carry her with him always.
