Hino de Santa Luzia

Oh, oh, oh, ah, ah
Oh, oh, oh, uh, uh

In a time when it was even forbidden
For someone to proclaim themselves a Christian
In the empire of cruel, unscrupulous men
Full of corruptions

Behold a beautiful maiden appears
Hearts beat for her
But Luzia had a light within her
To lead men in the steps of Jesus

Oh, virgin, Santa Luzia
Intercede to the Father, ask Jesus
Pray to the Holy Spirit of God
Oh, virgin, Santa Luzia
Luzia is light, come shine on our days
Illuminate our paths

Oh, oh, oh, ah, ah
Oh, oh, oh, uh, uh

Nowadays the community walks
Also amidst tribulations
There are suffering and oppressed people seeking
Joy and peace in their hearts

Christians arise who organize themselves
Following the example of Santa Luzia
These people are a light in the world
Guiding the people in the steps of Jesus

Oh, virgin, Santa Luzia
Intercede to the Father, ask Jesus
Pray to the Holy Spirit of God
Oh, virgin, Santa Luzia
Luzia is light, come shine on our days
Illuminate our paths

Oh, oh, oh, ah, ah
Oh, oh, oh, uh, uh
