English Translation

Senhora Santana ao redor do mundo

Lady Santana around the world

Aonde ela passava, deixava uma fonte

Wherever she went, she left a fountain


Quando os anjos passam, bebem água dela

When angels pass by, they drink her water

Oh que água tão doce, oh senhora tão bela

Oh, what sweet water, oh, such a beautiful lady


Encontrei Maria na beira do ri

I found Maria by the riverbank

Lavando os paninhos do seu bento fi

Washing the little cloths of her blessed child


Maria lavava, José estendia

Maria washed, José hung them

O menino chorava do fri que sentia

The child cried from the cold he felt


Os filhos dos homens em berço dourado

The sons of men in a golden cradle

E tu, meu menino, em palhas deitado.

And you, my child, lying on straw


Calai meu menino, calai meu amor

Hush, my child, hush, my love

Que a faca que corta não dá tai sem dor

For the knife that cuts doesn't give without pain
