Full lyrics
Demonstrando a minha fé
Vou subir a Penha a pé
Pra fazer minha oração
Vou pedir à padroeira
Numa prece verdadeira
Que proteja o meu baião
Penha, Penha
Eu vim aqui me ajoelhar
Venha, Venha
Trazer paz para o meu lar (2X)
Nossa senhora da Penha
Minha voz talvez não tenha
O poder de te exaltar
Mas dê benção padroeira
Pra essa gente brasileira
Que quer paz pra trabalhar
Penha, Penha
Eu vim aqui me ajoelhar
Venha, Venha
Trazer paz para o meu lar (2X)
Translation
Demonstrating my faith
I will climb Penha on foot
To say my prayer
I will ask the patron saint
In a true plea
To protect my baião
Penha, Penha
I came here to kneel
Come, Come
Bring peace to my home (2X)
Nossa Senhora da Penha
My voice may not have
The power to exalt you
But give a blessing, patron saint
To these Brazilian people
Who want peace to work
Penha, Penha
I came here to kneel
Come, Come
Bring peace to my home (2X)
