Full lyrics
Santo, Santo
Santo, Santo
Santo, Santo
Santo, Santo
Mar do sertão
Que me povoa
Mar desse chão
Vem me abençoa
Benze a coroa
Molha a minha mão
Mãos que ergo aos céus
E agradeço a esse santo
Fonte de luz
Força e axé
Canto vivo
Encanto amor e fé, fé
Fé que pede ao céu
Que dê vida a esse santo
Santo, Santo rio
Santo, Santo rio
Santo, Santo rio
Santo, Santo rio
Translation
Saint, Saint
Saint, Saint
Saint, Saint
Saint, Saint
Sea of the sertão
That fills me
Sea of this land
Come bless me
Bless the crown
Wet my hand
Hands that I raise to the heavens
And I thank this saint
Source of light
Strength and axé
Living song
Charm, love and faith, faith
Faith that asks the heaven
To give life to this saint
Holy, Holy river
Holy, Holy river
Holy, Holy river
Holy, Holy river
