Viúva Sem Nada

Everything was missing
I only had a little oil
In a jar, in the corner of the house
There was no bread
And who looked in the stove
I couldn't find any wood, fire or embers

Widow with nothing
Widow with nothing
The people spoke like this

I lacked friends
Just a few enemies
Certain collectors approached
Others spoke like this
We want to take your children to be slaves
And she cried

Widow with nothing
Widow with nothing
The people spoke like this

But God heard her crying, so he was moved
And made her remember the prophet His
Then a widow was seen seeking Elisha

Go, said the prophet thus
God has already told me that he will bless you
That will change history from now on
Bring more containers because the oil
It will multiply until it overflows
Now, now

Your children will not be slaves
And you won't owe another penny
Because your house will be a warehouse
Of the Lord's blessings

In the house what was missing will now be left over
The widow who cried will now sing
Where there was nothing, today there will be everything
The one who charged now comes to pay

And the stove that was cold is now burning
The empty barn is overflowing
Who saw you suffering
Now you see God blessing you
Now, now
