São Francisco de Assis

When the fire of love burned in the chest
Coming from the light so radiant of Jesus
Couldn't resist this pure and perfect love
He happily followed the stigmata of the Cross

And in poverty he went to rebuild Santa Maria
And in it the whole church of the Lord
In the Eucharist, in joy, in everyday life
He lived the gospel with fervor

We can be much happier
Following the example of Francis of Assisi
We can be much happier
Following the example of Francis of Assisi

There among flowers, he found peace and harmony
Singing love to the God of creation
Birds, winds, animals, the Sun and the Moon
And he called the groves all brothers

He smiled at the poor, his favorite friends
He saw Jesus Christ in his brother's face
With the most suffering, most loved, most cherished
At his table he shared the bread

We can be much happier
Following the example of Francis of Assisi
We can be much happier
Following the example of Francis of Assisi

Then Clara and Antonio also came
And many others with enthusiasm and ardor
And only by faith in Jesus Christ
They made the revolution of love

And this love was so loved by Francisco
May your being be clothed in light
And in the explosion of grace, in happiness
He celebrated his Easter on the stigmata of the Cross

We can be much happier
Following the example of Francis of Assisi
We can be much happier
Following the example of Francis of Assisi
