Full lyrics
Senhora da Aparecida
Venho de longe a cantar
Para fazer-te um pedido
E minha santa louvar
Ai, ai, ai
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
E minha santa louvar
Minha santinha morena
Alegremente te louvo
Proteja minha Helena
Padroeira do meu povo
Ai, ai, ai
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Padroeira do meu povo
Senhora da Aparecida
Com o teu manto de anil
Cubra de graças meu povo
Padroeira do Brasil
Ai, ai, ai
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Padroeira do Brasil
Translation
Senhora da Aparecida
I come from afar singing
To make you a request
And praise my saint
Ai, ai, ai
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And praise my saint
My dark-skinned little saint
Joyfully I praise you
Protect my Helena
Patroness of my people
Ai, ai, ai
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Patroness of my people
Senhora da Aparecida
With your indigo mantle
Cover my people with graces
Patroness of Brazil
Ai, ai, ai
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Patroness of Brazil
