Full lyrics
Olha eu vou dizer
Então se ajoelhe pra escutar
Mentira tem perna curta
Qualquer um pode pegar
Mas se alguém duvida, eu chamo }bis
A vir comigo e vamos lá
Tem os musgos, tem os santos
São Raimundo abençoado
Que não nega o seu carinho
A quem está necessitando
Vem cristão de todo mundo
Para graças alcançar
Mas se alguém duvida, eu chamo ] bis
A vir comigo e vamos lá
Sua igreja era véia
Resolveram abandonar
Construíram uma nova
Para o santo agradar
E o dia foi marcado
Mas na hora de mudar
Olha, até sinto arrepio
Quando começo a contar
No largo da nova igreja
E não foi de caçuada
Enxerguei dez mil pessoas
Sem fazer uma zuada
Na hora da cerimônia
Quando o sino repicou
Pra surpresa de todo mundo
A igreja desabou
E o milagre aconteceu
O sineiro não morreu }bis
Translation
Look, I'm going to say
So kneel down to listen
A lie has short legs
Anyone can catch it
But if anyone doubts, I call }bis
To come with me and let's go
There are the mosses, there are the saints
Blessed São Raimundo
Who doesn't deny his affection
To those who are in need
Christians come from all over the world
To receive graces
But if anyone doubts, I call ] bis
To come with me and let's go
His church was old
They decided to abandon it
They built a new one
To please the saint
And the day was marked
But at the time of moving
Look, I even get chills
When I start to tell
In the square of the new church
And it wasn't a joke
I saw ten thousand people
Without making a sound
At the time of the ceremony
When the bell tolled
To everyone's surprise
The church collapsed
And the miracle happened
The bell ringer didn't die }bis
