Full lyrics

Fui passear na roça

Encontrei Madalena

Sentada numa pedra

Comendo farinha seca

Olhando a produção agrícola


E a pecuária

Madalena chorava

Sua mãe consolava

Dizendo assim


Pobre não tem valor

Pobre é sofredor

E quem ajuda é Senhor do Bonfim


Entra em beco sai em beco

Há um recurso Madalena

Entra em beco sai em beco

Há uma santa com seu nome


Entra em beco sai em beco

Vai na próxima capela

E acende um vela

Pra não passar fome

Translation

I went for a walk in the countryside

I found Madalena

Sitting on a rock

Eating dry flour

Watching the agricultural production


And the livestock

Madalena was crying

Her mother consoled her

saying this:


The poor have no worth

The poor are sufferers

And the one who helps is the Lord of Bonfim


Go into an alley, come out of an alley

There is a solution, Madalena

Go into an alley, come out of an alley

There is a saint with your name


Go into an alley, come out of an alley

Go to the next chapel

And light a candle

So you don't go hungry
