O Milagre de Tambaú

I saw an old millionaire, upon receiving the blessing
Throw away her crutch, in the middle of the crowd
She took off her gold necklace, crying with emotion
She wanted to give it to the priest, to show her
Gratitude

The priest then told her, I cannot accept
The miracles that God performs, only good can repay
If that's your wish, then take your necklace
Give it to the first person you meet on the way

The first creature that appeared on the road
The old lady remembered the priest, she got out of his car
She took off her gold necklace, regretted at that moment
Because she was a poor black woman, she gave five thousand reis

Further on, the rich old lady saw her legs
Weakened
Returning to the priest, she was reprimanded by him
Your five thousand reis are here, keep them for the rest of your life
The little black girl you saw, was the lady of Aparecida
