Preto Velho Pai Joao
Umbanda
Black Old Father Joao
If the stone is hard
It's hard to break
A heart that doesn't waver
Today has to waver
I stepped on the stone
And the stone swayed
The world was crooked
And Father Joao straightened it
I stepped on the stone
And the stone swayed
The world was crooked
And Father Joao straightened it
It's Father Joao who opens the paths
Father Joao is the one who opens the gong
Hold your candira, my Father Joao
Don't let this goga turn
Hold your candira, my Father Joao
Don't let this gonga turn
