Full lyrics
Quando batem as seis horas
de joelhos sobre o chão
O sertanejo reza a sua oração
Ave Maria
Mãe de Deus Jesus
Nos dê força e coragem
Pra carregar a nossa cruz
Nesta hora bendita e santa
Devemos suplicar
A Virgem Imaculada
Os enfermos vir curar
Ave Maria
Mãe de Deus Jesus
Nos dê força e coragem
Pra carregar a nossa cruz (2X)
Translation
When six o'clock strikes
on his knees on the ground
The sertanejo says his prayer
Hail Mary
Mother of God Jesus
Give us strength and courage
To carry our cross
In this blessed and holy hour
We must implore
The Immaculate Virgin
To come heal the sick
Hail Mary
Mother of God Jesus
Give us strength and courage
To carry our cross (2X)
