SIM by Cartola and Oswaldo Martins, new words by Joel Sattler

New title: “Yes, There’s Still Time to Forgive”

Yes

There’s still time to forgive

And forget

A chance at true happiness

And let live 

Just to have a true love of your own is

A joy that’s infinite

cause there’s nothing else in life

That can compare to it

But when at my worst inside

I threw it all away

I was cursed

And I paid with my foolish pride

Yes

There’s still time to forgive

And forget

A chance at true happiness

And let live 

Just to have a true love of your own is

A joy that’s infinite

cause there’s nothing else in life

That can compare to it

But when at my worst inside

I threw it all away

I was cursed

And I paid with my foolish pride

But we all have been made fools too

Without exception

When you come back to reality you

Ask for salvation

Seek your pity from the Lord

I can’t argue with belief

But just get a hold of your heart and

You’ll spare yourself a world of grief,

Ah!

Yes

There’s still time to forgive

And forget

A chance at true happiness

And let live 

Just to have a true love of your own is

A joy that’s infinite

cause there’s nothing else in life

That can compare to it

But when at my worst inside

I threw it all away

I was cursed

And I paid with my foolish pride

Yes

There’s still time to forgive

Original lyrics in Portuguese:

Sim,

Deve haver o perdão

Para mim

Senão nem sei qual será

O meu fim

Para ter uma companheira

Até promessas fiz

Consegui um grande amor

Mas eu não fui feliz

E com raiva para os céus

Os braços levantei

Blasfemei

Hoje todos são contra mim

Sim,

Deve haver o perdão

Para mim

Senão nem sei qual será

O meu fim

Para ter uma companheira

Até promessas fiz

Consegui um grande amor

Mas eu não fui feliz

E com raiva para os céus

Os braços levantei

Blasfemei

Hoje todos são contra mim

Todos erram neste mundo

Não há exceção

Quando voltam a realidade

Conseguem perdão

Porque é que eu Senhor

Que errei pela vez primeira

Passo tantos dissabores

E luto contra a humanidade inteira

Sim,

Deve haver o perdão

Para mim

Senão nem sei qual será

O meu fim

Para ter uma companheira

Até promessas fiz

Consegui um grande amor

Mas eu não fui feliz

E com raiva para os céus

Os braços levantei

Blasfemei

Hoje todos são contra mim

Sim,

Deve haver o perdão
