It's strange, but the other day I spoke about you and used the past tense. "My dad was a violent man", I said without thinking. It could mean two things: that you are dead or that you are no longer violent. I know which I'd prefer.
Não sou nada.
Nunca serei nada.
Não posso querer ser nada.
À parte isso, tenho em mim todos os sonhos do mundo.

I'm nothing.
I'll never be anything.
I can't hope to be anything.
Apart from that, I hold in me all the dreams of the world.
