São Francisco
Ney Matogrosso
Saint Francis
There goes Saint Francis
Along the way
Barefoot
So poor
Sleeping at night
By the mill
Drinking the water
From the little stream.
There goes Saint Francis
On foot
Carrying nothing
In his sack
Saying to the wind
Good morning friend
Saying to the fire
Health brother.
There goes Saint Francis
Along the way
Carrying in his arms
Baby Jesus
Celebrating
The little child
Telling stories
To the birds.
There goes Saint Francis
Along the way.
