Zé Pilintra

Hail Zé
God said go there Zé and take care of this child
Tell him the truths, put him on the right path
Alone, lost, needing encouragement, show the direction of light

A man on the road appeared to me
I was fallen, my life was at its end
Directionless, no option, against the flow of life
A step I desired in vain, falling without farewell
He told me I'm by your side, I came to make you grow
The Creator sent me, you just need to obey
Let's toast to your victory, son, you can write it down

The moment is now, it only depends on you
Get up and be strong, son, your time has come
You can't lower your head or give up now
He knew everything about my life, I couldn't believe it
Opened my mind, protected my body

God said go there Zé and take care of this child, tell
Him the truths, put him on the right path, he's alone
Lost, needing encouragement, show the direction of light

Behold, a new man emerges, reborn from the mud
Today I seek my future, my mission calls me here
I became a champion, dodging frustrations, enduring life's blows
And God put a great guardian in my path
Thank you, my godfather, for all the protection
Madrina Maria Padilha showed me the truth
Gave me insight into the easy things

Who are the true ones and who always cared
Who always prayed for me and who always just criticized
Temptation took my focus, my faith saved me
The mind weighs heavily in life
In the past of life, the future is destiny
Protection comes from above, my godparents captivate me
Padilha Pilintra protects my life
Delivers my body and mind from suicidal tendencies

My mother, the most beautiful, education was painful
Always advising me about life's evils
Praying to God in search of salvation
I fought and became a great champion
I fought and waited to reach my moment
God sent a protector who eased my suffering
Who guided and protected my life
Eternal gratitude, hail Zé Pilintra

God said go there Zé and take care of this child, tell the truths
To him, put him on the right path, he's alone, lost
Needing encouragement, show the direction of light
