Full lyrics

Nordeste sangrento

Que o céu esqueceu

E a prece dos homens no ar

Se perdeu

Até a esperança

Perdeu sua cor

Nem nos corações

Existe amor


Sou devoto

Sou romeiro

Devoto de meu Padrim

Felizmente o Juazeiro

Não lutará sozinho


O santo Padin Ciço

Mandou a gente rezar

E a maldade dos homens

Nos obrigou a matar

E a maldade dos homens

Nos obrigou a matar


Sou devoto

Sou romeiro

Devoto de meu Padrim

Felizmente o Juazeiro

Não lutará sozinho

Translation

Bloody Northeast

That heaven forgot

And the prayer of men in the air

Was lost

Even hope

Lost its color

Not even in hearts

Does love exist


I am a devotee

I am a pilgrim

Devotee of my Padrim

Fortunately Juazeiro

Will not fight alone


Saint Padin Ciço

Told us to pray

And the wickedness of men

Forced us to kill

And the wickedness of men

Forced us to kill


I am a devotee

I am a pilgrim

Devotee of my Padrim

Fortunately Juazeiro

Will not fight alone
