Meu São Benedito
Ajuda o filhinhos da preta a nascer
Com mais belezuras, Com os olhos bonito
Com as almas bonita, senhor
Me faz esse favor
Meu São Benedito
Ajuda os filhinhos da Preta Crescer
Viver com coragem, saber que a vantagem ser menos que os outros aqui
Quando agente subir.
Meu São Benedito
Ajuda os filhinhos da preta a entender
Que o preto da pele, só pega na armas, dos filhos que não quer saber
Que é preciso sofrer
Meu São Benedito
Ajuda os filhinhos da preta a rezar
Pra nosso senhor Jesus Cristo levar o filhinhos da preta pra lá
Quando o dia chegar
Translation
My Saint Benedict
Help the black woman's children to be born
With more beauty, With beautiful eyes
With beautiful souls, Lord
Do me this favor
My Saint Benedict
Help the Black Woman's Children Grow
Live with courage, know that the advantage is to be less than the others here
When we go up.
My Saint Benedict
Help the black woman's children to understand
That the black of the skin, only catches on the weapons, of the children who don't want to know
That it is necessary to suffer
My Saint Benedict
Help the black woman's children to pray
For our Lord Jesus Christ to take the black woman's children there
When the day comes
