Santa Mãe, Maria
José Acácio Santana
Holy Mother, Mary
Holy Mother Mary, in this crossing
Cover us with Your indigo mantle
Guard our lives, Mother Aparecida
Holy patroness of Brazil
Hail Mary! Hail Mary!
Hail Mary! Hail Mary!
Pilgrim woman, feminine strength
The most important that ever existed
With justice you want our women
To be builders of Brazil
Hail Mary! Hail Mary!
Hail Mary! Hail Mary!
With divine love, guard the pilgrims
On this journey to the beyond
Keep them company, for one day
You were also a pilgrim in Bethlehem
Hail Mary! Hail Mary!
Hail Mary! Hail Mary!
With slow steps facing the winds
When they blow in another direction
The whole mother Church asks that You be
A companion of liberation
Hail Mary! Hail Mary!
Hail Mary! Hail Mary!
Hail Mary! Hail Mary!
Hail Mary!
