Full lyrics
Ô que caminho tão longo
Ô que bonito lugar
Nós somos romeiros
De São José de Ribamar
Nós somos romeiros
De São José de Ribamar
Sete léguas de estradas
Nos temos que caminhar
Pra levar a nossa promessa
A Senhor São José do Ribamar
Bebo vejo caranguejo
Que é pra poder me animar
La no posso da saúde
Um bom banho vou tomar
Pra me apresentar limpinho
A Senhor São José do Ribamar
Quando chegar na igreja
E fazer uma oração
Ao santo do lugar
Que minha garganta curou
São Jose de Ribamar
E o nosso protetor
Translation
Oh, what a long road
Oh, what a beautiful place
We are pilgrims
Of Saint Joseph of Ribamar
We are pilgrims
Of Saint Joseph of Ribamar
Seven leagues of roads
We have to walk
To take our promise
To Lord Saint Joseph of Ribamar
I drink, I see crab
That's to cheer me up
There in the well of health
A good bath I will take
To present myself clean
To Lord Saint Joseph of Ribamar
When I arrive at the church
And make a prayer
To the saint of the place
Who cured my throat
Saint Joseph of Ribamar
Is our protector
