Full lyrics
Vou rezar, eu vou rezar
Pra Jesus dos navegantes
Mandar o vento parar
Oh jangadeiro, jangadeiro
Rema, rema sem parar
Machucando vira o leme
Vem tempestade no mar
Vou rezar, eu vou rezar
Pra Jesus dos navegantes
Mandar o vento parar
Ei jangadeiro em alto mar
Quando perde a rotina
É tal qual um grão de ouro
Perdido dentro da mina
Ele implora ao protetor
E pede que a natureza
Vai tira-lo da grandeza
Com a plateia divina
Translation
I will pray, I will pray
To Jesus of the Navigators
To make the wind stop
Oh raftsman, raftsman
Row, row without stopping
Hurting, turn the rudder
A storm is coming on the sea
I will pray, I will pray
To Jesus of the Navigators
To make the wind stop
Hey raftsman on the high seas
When he loses his routine
He is just like a grain of gold
Lost inside the mine
He implores his protector
And asks nature
To take him from the greatness
With the divine audience
