Padroeiro do Ceará

The day I was born I was a sick baby,
My mother made a promise, I give my child to Jesus
Only at 7 years old, I will cut your hair and baptize you, I will give you the holy name
Then came the confusion, at 7 years old I already knew what was good.
My mother called and said, come here boy, your name will be João
