Frei Damião

Frei Damião, where will Frei Damião be
Destiny gave him, to live as a Northeasterner
Today he is our brother

When the rooster crows at dawn
Everyone is already up, blessing in the procession
In a holy march within the dawn
Leading the way is the man, the almost saint Frei Damião
With prayer and song, he wakes up
The time has come, no one waste time, let's go to the missions
Sinners kneel
Those who mirror themselves in God
Can only have Frei Damião's protection

Frei Damião, my good Frei Damião
Your forgiveness in confession makes a good Christian
Frei Damião, my good Frei Damião
I am a Northeasterner, I am asking for your blessing

Feet that walk the earth, without wrong paths
These same feet, this same people are in the missions
Want to know about winter, want to escape hell
Those who have devotion to Frei Damião have no trial

Frei Damião, my good Frei Damião
Your forgiveness in confession makes a good Christian
Frei Damião, my good Frei Damião
I am a Northeasterner, I am asking for your blessing

Frei Damião, Frei Damião
