Tá na prayer of the Christian
the feast of the patron
tá candles that illuminate
the ways of the monastery
Accompanies pilgrims
every year to Juazeiro
tá the wheel of trucks
the cabin of the truck

Roll the highways
lead us to Ali
s with the housekeeper
every day in their deals
Often explosive
sometimes repressed
is the companion of the worker
in his fight for life

Tá no verse of the poet
the ballads of singer
in the words of the prophet
chest of the worker
Tá no tears for those who cry
in joy and pain
Tá waiting with open arms
the top of the Redeemer

Tá na prayer of the faithful
the act of the government
tá present in brothels
the meeting of lovers
Tá books and papers
head student
in the hope of arriving
the illusion of the refugees

Tá na power of destiny
the streets and in prison
tá na festa do Divino
the fire of St. John
The boy's smile
tá no gesture of elder
tá in the rain in city
tá drought in the interior

Much of it I have heard
I have spoken and it
it has died
it has killed
All oppressed
do not forget the saying:
"People who live without faith
is a people abandoned "
