What I've never told you

Verse 1

You chose me when I was nothing,

A child without a name, without a future.

Never did an "I love you" pass your lips,

But your hands spoke louder than any words.

You made me understand with every caress,

That love is given, it doesn't say much.

Not in sentences, but in the hours you spent,

Watching over me when I couldn't sleep.

Pre-chorus 1

And last year, when my body almost gave out,

Cirrhosis sowed doubt around us.

I saw the fear in your eyes,

And the family rallied together, no more hiding.

Chorus

Thank you for everything you've done,

You adopted me, saved me, you made me your son.

Even when the end seemed so near,

You held me close like a rock, you soothed my fear. Whatever happens, you are my source,

My only anchor on this path strewn with obstacles.

Verse 2

My brothers and sisters, sometimes so far from me,

Gathered around my bed that month, holding me tight in their arms.

Even my sisters, so often in their own world,

Come without a word, to sit beside me.

They didn't know how to express it, but their presence was strong,

Whispering: "Stay a little longer, you belong here."

It's strange, the fear of losing someone you love,

Makes the silence less heavy, like a call from heaven.

Pre-Chorus 2

Because last year, when my breath grew short,

You all knew my path was narrow.

And even those who usually remain silent and distant,

came to take my hand, and their love was confirmed.

Chorus

Thank you for everything you've done,

You adopted me, saved me, made me your son. Even when the end seemed so near,

You held me in your arms like a rock, you soothed my fear.

Whatever happens, you are my source,

My only anchor on this path strewn with obstacles.

Bridge

I know my time may be running out,

So before my body gives out,

I write you this song without haste,

To etch your presence in the silence.

You are my parents, my adopted child,

But last year taught me an indelible lesson:

Family is those who remain strong,

Even the gentlest answer the call.

They showed me their love without a word,

Just by being there when my world grew dark.

Faced with the slowly creeping cirrhosis,

Their silent devotion never fades.

Last refrain (softer)

Thank you for every sleepless night,

You made your sun my light.

A roof over my head, an inner fire,

Even my sisters, by my side,

Showed me they wanted me to stay.

Conclusion

Dad, Mom, and all of you who are close,

Even the silence is filled with emotion.

When we thought I was leaving for good,

You fought against abandonment with all your might.

I love you – these words, I gently place them,

On this song so they will never fade.
