And why did I have to see you behind glass?
Glass

My mother told me to be careful of the one next door
Who always smiles when you have everything
All of that you have achieved on your own,
Never believe in someone else's success
I told her, "Mom, I don't believe that
I think now everyone is my friend"
She told me, "A friend is not from now,
But the one who was with you in the bad times"
I responded coldly,
I felt like something was telling me in my mind
No one ever put food on our table,
No one cares if it's hot
She told me, "Even if they haven't given you much
Help those you see in worse shape
God will repay you double
And it will be better, with love, never hold a grudge"
I already thought and forgot all the bad things
I knew who was and who wasn't worth it to me
I said, "Mom, why do the prosecutors
When you haven't done anything, tell you 'you're not getting out'?"

Doing good, and sometimes they even detain me
And tell me, Mom, why do they have it in for me?
Mom doesn't want to see you inside ever again
And they would leave me dead if you die on me
Seeing how all the illegal ones are better off
Mom, tell me, why did I have to see you behind glass?
Mom, tell me, why did I have to see you behind glass?
Crying as if my life doesn't matter

She calmly responded and smiled
And told me, "You yourself sought the cold in the street"
You said, "Mom, I always trust that friend"
And son, now he's not here when you're detained
I told her, "Mom, I always cried for help"
I only saw bars and downpours
I saw that everything on the street was more serious
And no one was involved in the middle
And it's a change, only interest helps you
And it's a change, "Son, don't you see it?"
How little they care about you, how little they care about you
And tell me who is there, when you later die

And Mom, sometimes I imagine
A path where everyone is with me
And Mom, I walk, where are they?
And where were they when they later leave?

Doing good, and sometimes they even detain me
And tell me, Mom, why do they have it in for me?
Mom doesn't want to see you inside ever again
And they would leave me dead if you die on me
Seeing how all the illegal ones are better off
Mom, tell me, why did I have to see you behind glass?
Mom, tell me, why did I have to see you behind glass?
Crying as if my life doesn't matter

Why did I have to see you behind glass?
Why did I have to see you behind glass?
Mom, tell me, why did I have to see you behind glass?
Crying as if my life doesn't matter
As if my life doesn't matter
