I carried my burden as one carries the world
Yet, to give life, we were two
Even if I blame you, I don't want happiness
Just that you be a man
A piece of you, a piece of me that reminds me that mama found her joy
A piece of you, a piece of my pain that hurts, because you're not there

I dreamed of a family in a pretty portrait
When you said "my pretty, I will be by your side"
I dreamed of a family in a pretty portrait
And if you lied to me, he looks just like you

Please, I understood, to prove it, I feel capable
Sleep my love, sleep my love
I want to raise him, love him, give myself like a real dad
Sleep my love, sleep my love (oh my love)

I admit, I was cowardly and not up to it
Since then I feel alone in the world
You were carrying our baby, I said bye-bye (bye-bye, bye-bye)
Ah I'm not smiling, I'm hurting, I'm suffering
And may God be my witness, I sincerely regret it (forgive me, mom)
My bad choices made you too sad
But I beg you, let me be his dad
He's my blood, my flesh, for better or worse, I want to be there
Darling, sorry for everything, I'll do better than yesterday (look at my heart)
For our child, please, forgive me for all the harm

Please, I understood, to prove it, I feel capable
Sleep my love, sleep my love
I want to raise him, love him, give myself like a real dad
Sleep my love, sleep my love

Ah ooh, ah-ooh, ah-ooh, ah-ooh
Ah ooh, ah-ooh, ah-ooh, ah-ooh
Let's talk about forgiveness, because I can't stand it (sleep my love, sleep my love)
It's only the wounds that we don't see that hurt like this, I can't stand the pain

Please, I understood, to prove it, I feel capable
Sleep my love, sleep my love
I want to raise him, love him, give myself like a real dad
Sleep my love, sleep my love
