Ogum / Oração de São Jorge

I
Am a Zulu descendant
I am a soldier of Ogum
Devotee of this immense legion of Jorge

I
Syncretized in faith
I am filled with axé
And protected by a noble knight
Yes, I go to church to celebrate my protector
And thank for being one more winner
In fights, in battles
Yes, I go to the terreiro to beat my drum
I bow my head, affirm my point, yes sir
I sing to Ogum

A brave warrior who takes care of those who suffer too much
(Ogum) he comes from Aruanda, he defeats the demands of those who do
(Ogum) knight of the sky, faithful squire, messenger of peace
he never falters, he takes the spear, he kills the dragon
(Ogum) he gives confidence for a child to become a lion
(Ogum) is a sea of hope that brings calm to my heart
(Ogum)

Jesus ahead peace and guide
I commend myself to God and the Virgin Mary
Twelve apostles, my brothers
I will walk dressed, armed, surrounded with the weapons of Saint George
Saint George enlisted in the cavalry
I am happy because I am also part of his company

I am dressed in the clothes and weapons of Jorge
So that my enemies have feet and do not reach me
Have hands and do not catch me
Have eyes and do not see me
And not even in thought can they have to harm me
Firearms will not reach my body

Knives and spears break if they touch my body
Ropes and chains break if they tie my body
For I am dressed in the clothes and weapons of Jorge
Hail George
Hail Saint George
George is from Cappadocia
