Santa Maria Goretti
With four children
Widow Assunção
Worked hard
To earn the bread
Little Maria
Took care of her siblings
At night with her rosary
She prayed
Little Maria
Received education
Her mother taught her
True religion
At twelve years old
She prepared her heart
Received Our Lord
In her first communion
One day came
The wicked ingratitude
Alexandre Serenelli
A young man with bad intentions
Talked about love
Little Maria said no
Took the life of the innocent
It was truly heartless
He was sentenced
To thirty years in prison
Remorse lives with him
He's paying for the betrayal
Little Maria
Received coronation
She's in heaven with Jesus
And his protection
Santa Goretti
She is our devotion
You're the martyr of purity
The lily of the hearts
Pray to God
For our salvation
Deliver us here on earth
From ungrateful temptations
