Текст и перевод песни Maria Bethânia - Lapa Santa

Lapa Santa

Pelas horas do bendito
Louvado seja o velho Chico
Louvado seja o velho Chico
Espelho d′agua que se move manso
Feito notícia boa no remanso

Pelas benditas horas
Seja louvado o velho Chico
Seu arraial do Bom Jesus da Lapa santa

Tanto padroado, tanto padroeiro
Tanto milagre, tanto milagreiro
Tanta promessa, tanto promesseiro
Tanto romeiro, tanta romaria
Tanto Jesus, tanta Maria
Tanto devoto, tanta devoção
Tanta reza, tanta procissão

Quede, quede dono dessa casa
Quede seu oratório
Quede, quede adjutório
De Antônio casamenteiro
Bota pavio no candeeiro
Acende a festa no terreiro
Vem contar a história de bicho d'água
Quede, quede o dono dessa casa

De tanta casa caiada
Tanta viola tocada
Tanta canoa enfeitada
Já vi com carranca de Francisco Guarany

Quede, quede dono dessa casa
Quede seu oratório
Quede, quede adjutório
De Antônio casamenteiro
Bota pavio no candeeiro
Acende a festa no terreiro
Vem contar a história de bicho d′água
Quede, quede o dono dessa casa

Seu arraial do Bom Jesus da Lapa santa

Lapa Santa

By the hours of the blessed
Praise be to old Chico
Praise be to old Chico
Mirror of water that moves gently
Like good news in the backwater

By the blessed hours
May old Chico be praised
His village of Bom Jesus da Lapa Santa

So many patron saints, so many patrons
So many miracles, so many miracle workers
So many promises, so many promise makers
So many pilgrims, so many pilgrimages
So much Jesus, so much Mary
So many devotees, so much devotion
So many prayers, so many processions

Stop, stop, owner of this house
Stop, your oratory
Stop, stop, help
Of Anthony, matchmaker
Put a wick in the lamp
Light the party in the square
Come tell the story of the water bug
Stop, stop, owner of this house

Of so many whitewashed houses
So many violas played
So many decorated canoes
I have seen with the frown of Francisco Guarany

Stop, stop, owner of this house
Stop, your oratory
Stop, stop, help
Of Anthony, matchmaker
Put a wick in the lamp
Light the party in the square
Come tell the story of the water bug
Stop, stop, owner of this house

His village of Bom Jesus da Lapa Santa
