O Que Tinha de Ser - Maria Bethânia

Porque foste na vida

A última esperança

Encontrar-te me fez criança

Porque já eras meu

Sem eu saber sequer

Porque és o meu homem

E eu tua mulher

Porque tu me chegaste

Sem me dizer que vinhas

E tuas mãos foram minhas com calma

Porque foste em minh’alma

Como um amanhecer

Porque foste o que tinha de ser

Why were you in life

The last hope

Finding you made me a child

because you were already mine

Without me even knowing

Because you are my man

And I your wife

Because you came to me

Without telling me you were coming

And your hands were mine calmly

Because you were in my soul

like a dawn

Because you were what had to be
