Full lyrics

Talvez, o meu rosário falte algumas contas

E minha prece muito mal rezada

Mas tudo aquilo que peço a minha santa

Recebo em dobro a prece desejada


Você já viu um coração sorrir?

Abra o meu peito e verá o meu

A esperança está no que se pede

Felicidade no que receber


Pedi infância bem melhor que a minha

Pros meus irmãos que nascem lá no norte

Compreensão para os revoltados

E a leitura não me fez mais forte


E hoje eu vejo norte se rasgando

Suas entranhas jorrando fartura

Meus irmãozinhos comigo cantando

Viva o Nordeste, e Deus lá nas alturas

Translation

Perhaps, my rosary is missing some beads

And my prayer is very poorly prayed

But everything I ask of my saint

I receive double the desired prayer


Have you ever seen a heart smile?

Open my chest and you will see mine

Hope lies in what is asked

Happiness in what is received


I asked for a childhood much better than mine

For my brothers who are born up north

Understanding for the rebels

And reading didn't make me stronger


And today I see the north tearing itself apart

Its entrails gushing with abundance

My little brothers singing with me

Long live the Northeast, and God up in the heavens
