SEXTA-FEIRA SANTA

Sou filho, sou filho

Sou filho do poder

A Minha Mãe me trouxe aqui

Quem quiser venha aprender

Vou seguindo, vou seguindo

Os passos que Deus me dá

A minha memória divina

Eu tenho que apresentar

A Minha Mãe que me ensina

Me diz tudo que eu quiser

Sou filho desta verdade

E meu Pai é São José

A Sexta-Feira Santa

Guardemos com obediência

Três antes e três depois

Para afastar toda doença

Viva o nosso Festival

Aqui na terra aonde está

Viva o sol lá na altura

Eternamente a brilhar

Viva a noite de São João

E toda festa junina

Viva a lua prateada

Viva a nossa Mãe Divina

Viva a luz resplandecente

Que a tudo resplandece

Viva a luz fosforescente

Em todo Globo terrestre

I’m a son, I’m a son

I’m a son of the power

My Mother brought me here

Whoever wants, come and learn

I keep proceeding, I keep proceeding

With the steps that God gives me

My Divine memory

I have to present it

My Mother who teaches me

Tells me everything that I want

I am a son of this Truth

And my Father is Saint Joseph

Good Friday

Let’s observe it with obedience

Three (days) before and three after

To ward off all sickness

When I arrived in this session the feitio was already under the direction of Chico Grangeiro, and he implemented some real diets. This attitude ended up, later on, in trouble. We followed it to a certain point, and at least I followed in part, but I even came to do sexual abstinence... up to three months. It would go from thirty days and it could reach three months. It was when the questionings came in and it ended up in trouble, I mean, after a season of obedience, because for some times I did a month, and others would assure that they did. Did they? I don’t know. But it came to a vulgar point. They started to fight, even couples fight, gossip and judging: Who did the diet, who didn’t, and it turned thus into a mess. Then it came before Mestre’s feet, and he pronounced: No people! That’s not how it is. Now it is going to change. Now it is three days before and three days after.”
