⍟27. PRONOUNCEMENT

When I lose myself

In this illusion

I forget Papai

Who was the one who created me

But soon

I remember again

I warm myself in the light

And I see Mamãe

I hope one day

To retain forever

The divine remembrance

Of my birth

Only thus do I intend

To honor the power

That put me in the world

Just so that I may deserve

I am in matter

I trust in Jesus

With a thread of light

He guides me on the earth

I am in this force

I seek to be

I make an effort

To be reborn

Oh Mestre, give me

This satisfaction

That I may live here below

In Your heart

To return to this empire

Before the throne

To prostrate myself at Your feet

You who are my owner
