João e Maria

My father was a quimbandeiro
My mother was from quimbanda
When they died, I went to both funerals
With closed eyes, I lit a candle
I made a request for the souls to descend
To a place I didn't know

The only request from my father João
The last goodbye from my mother Maria
The only request from my father João
The last goodbye from my mother Maria

When I left, I was still young
If he were alive, he wouldn't believe it
I met my father as João Caveira
And my late mother
As Maria Padilha

If the world is small from here
On the other side, I found my family
Light a candle stub
That is red and black

Hail João Caveira and Maria Padilha
João Caveira and Maria Padilha
João Caveira and Maria Padilha
