SEBASTIÃO ERA MENINO
SEBASTIÃO WAS A BOY
- Rita Gregório de Melo
Sebastião era menino
Não sabia caminhar
Sua Mãe te deu o seio
E te ensinou a amar
Foi crescendo e caminhando
Com sua luz reluzente
Hoje ele ama seus filhos
Com todos seus irmãos
Salve a luz e salve a força
Do Padrinho Sebastião
Sebastião was a boy
He did not know how to walk
His Mother gave you the breast
And taught you to love
He went on growing and walking
With his resplendent light
Today he loves his children
With all his brothers
Hail the light and hail the strength
Of Padrinho Sebastião
