Full lyrics

Menino de procissão

Cordeiro de um rebanho sem fim

Me lembro das graças que o povo

Pedia pros céus, era assim


As virgens todas proclamam

Tua graça em formosura

Sôis a dileta do povo


E a protetora das almas

Da provoação da Nossa Senhora da Serra da Raiz


Abrandai

Os corações dos igonorantes

Abrandai, abrandai

Abrandai, abrandai } bis


Crescido agora é que eu sei

Que há outros pra ouvir meu latim

Em nome dos céus, eu reclamo

As graças que devem pra mim


As graças que eu reclamo

Em nome dos irmãos aflitos

São já conhecidas de todos

E sem elas, o grande rebanho vai morrendo

Ou fingindo viver como Deus, é servido


Abrandal, o coração de todos poderosos

Abrandai, abrandai } bis

Translation

Procession boy

Lamb of an endless flock

I remember the graces that the people

Asked the heavens for, it was like this


All the virgins proclaim

Your grace in beauty

You are the people's beloved


And the protector of souls

From the temptation of Nossa Senhora da Serra da Raiz


Soften

The hearts of the ignorant

Soften, soften

Soften, soften } bis


Grown up now I know

That there are others to hear my Latin

In the name of the heavens, I demand

The graces they owe to me


The graces I demand

In the name of the afflicted brothers

Are already known to all

And without them, the great flock will die

Or pretend to live as God is served


Soften, the heart of all the powerful

Soften, soften } bis
