Full lyrics
Quando você chegou
Reacendeu a fé
Quase adormecida
Mostrando o caminho
Livre de espinhos
Renovando a vida
Nos mostrando a luz
Pra seguir em frente
Guiando os passos
Que levam a Jesus
O salvador da gente
Quando você chegou
Mexeu com intensidade
Meu coração carente
Com simplicidade
Força e esperança
Num Deus onipresente
Nos mostrando a luz
Teu gesto tão nobre
De amor pelo pobre
Teu olhar divino
Encantou nosso povo
Trouxe o amor de novo
A todo peregrino
Nos mostrando a luz
Como fiel nordestino
Agradeço, meu bom pastor
Deixe chamá-lo de Chico
Papa Francisco, que nos trouxe o amor
Translation
When you arrived
You rekindled the faith
Almost dormant
Showing the way
Free of thorns
Renewing life
Showing us the light
To move forward
Guiding the steps
That lead to Jesus
Our savior
When you arrived
You stirred intensely
My needy heart
With simplicity
Strength and hope
In an omnipresent God
Showing us the light
Your gesture so noble
Of love for the poor
Your divine gaze
Enchanted our people
Brought love anew
To every pilgrim
Showing us the light
As a faithful nordestino
I thank you, my good shepherd
Let me call you Chico
Papa Francisco, who brought us love
