SÃO FRANÇISCO DE ASSISI
ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI
São Francisco de Assis la no céu
Veio a terra para restaurar
A igreja de Jesus no mundo
Que estave a desmoronar
Se casou com a santa pobreza
Seu teto era um céu de estrelas
Rompeu a ilusão com verdade
Se entregou a Jesus com certeza
São Francisco amou a Jesus
De maneira muito especial
Viveu seu sofrimento na cruz
Recebeu suas chagas mortais
Santa Clara, clarissma de Deus
A Francisco veio acompanhar
Sofreu tantos anos doente
Para Santa luz poder alcançar
Sua fé removia montanhas
Sua fé derrotava exercitos
Com o Santo ostensorio na mão
Defendeu sua igreja dos perversos
São Francisco of Assisi there in Heaven
Came to earth to restore
The church of Jesus on the world
That was falling apart
He married with the lady poverty
His ceiling was a starry sky
He broke the illusion with truth
He surrendered to Jesus with certainty
São Francisco loved Jesus
In a very special way
He lived his suffering on the cross
He received his mortal stigmata
Saint Clara, clarissma of God
Came to accompany Francisco
She suffered for many sick years
In order to reach the Holy light
Her faith moved mountains
Her faith defeated armies
With the Holy ostensorio* in hand
She defended her church from the wicked
