Madalena
Gilberto Gil
Madalena
I went for a walk in the countryside
I found Madalena
Sitting on a rock
Eating dry flour
Looking at the agricultural production
And livestock
Madalena cried, her mother consoled her
Saying
The poor have no value, the poor suffer
And the one who helps is the Lord of Bonfim
Goes into an alley, comes out of an alley
There's a way, Madalena
Goes into an alley, comes out of an alley
There's a saint with her name
Goes into an alley, comes out of an alley
Goes to the next chapel
And lights a candle so as not to go hungry
I went for a walk in the countryside
I found Madalena
Sitting on a rock
Eating dry flour
Looking at the agricultural production
And livestock
Madalena cried, her mother consoled her
Saying
The poor have no value, the poor suffer
And the one who helps is the Lord of Bonfim
Goes into an alley, comes out of an alley
There's a way, Madalena
Goes into an alley, comes out of an alley
There's a saint with her name
Goes into an alley, comes out of an alley
Goes to the next chapel
And lights a candle so as not to go hungry
Goes into an alley, comes out of an alley
There's a way, Madalena
Goes into an alley, comes out of an alley
There's a saint with her name
Goes into an alley, comes out of an alley
Goes to the next chapel
And lights a candle so as not to go hungry
Goes into an alley, comes out of an alley
There's a way, Madalena
Goes into an alley, comes out of an alley
There's a saint with her name
Goes into an alley, comes out of an alley
Goes to the next chapel
And lights a candle so as not to go hungry
Goes into an alley, comes out of an alley
There's a way, Madalena
Goes into an alley, comes out of an alley
Uh, there's a saint with her name, oh
Goes into an alley, comes out of an alley
Goes to the next chapel
And lights a candle so as not to go hungry
