Milagre da Flecha
Era alta madrugada
Já cansado da jornada
Eu voltava pro meu lar
Quando apareceu no escuro
Me encostando contra o muro
Um ladrão pra me assaltar
Com o revólver no pescoço
Eu expliquei pro moço
Tenho filho pra criar
Sou arrimo de família
Leva tudo, me humilha
Mas não queira me matar
Ave Maria, aleluia
Ave Maria
Mas o homem sem piedade
Um escravo da maldade
Começou me maltratar
Pra ver se eu tinha medo
Antes de puxar o dedo
Ele me mandou rezar
Eu nunca tinha rezado
Eu que era só pecado
Implorei por salvação
Elevei meu pensamento
Descobri nesse momento
O que é ter religião
Ave Maria, aleluia
Ave Maria
Um clarão apareceu
Minha vista escureceu
E o bandido desmaiou
E morreu, não teve jeito
Com uma flecha no peito
Sem saber quem atirou
Nesta hora a gente grita
Berra, chora e acredita
Que o milagre aconteceu
De joelho na calçada
Perguntei com voz cansada
Quem será que me atendeu?
Ave Maria, aleluia
Ave Maria
Já estava amanhecendo
A alegria me aquecendo
Quando entrei na catedral
Cada santo que eu via
Eu de novo agradecia
E jurava ser leal
Veja o santo de passagem
Não me toque nas imagens
Me avisou o sacristão
Pois lá ninguém explicava
Uma flecha que faltava
Na imagem de São Sebastião
Ave Maria, aleluia
Ave Maria
Ave Maria, aleluia
Ave Maria
Ave Maria, aleluia
Ave Maria
Ave Maria, aleluia
Ave Maria
Miracle of the Arrow
It was the middle of the night
Already tired from the journey
I was going back home
When it appeared in the dark
Leaning against the wall
A thief trying to rob me
With the revolver to his neck
I explained it to the young man
I have a child to raise
I am the breadwinner of my family
Take everything, humiliate me
But don't try to kill me
Hail Mary, hallelujah
Hail Mary
But the merciless man
A slave to evil
He started mistreating me
To see if I was scared
Before pulling the finger
He told me to pray
I had never prayed before
I, who was nothing but sin
I begged for salvation
I raised my thoughts
I discovered it at that moment
What does it mean to have a religion?
Hail Mary, hallelujah
Hail Mary
A flash appeared
My vision went dark
And the bandit fainted
And he died, there was no way around it
With an arrow in the chest
Without knowing who shot
At this time we shout
Scream, cry, and believe
That the miracle happened
Kneeling on the sidewalk
I asked in a tired voice
Who could have answered my call?
Hail Mary, hallelujah
Hail Mary
It was already dawn
Joy warming me
When I entered the cathedral
Every saint I saw
I thanked them again
And he swore to be loyal
See the saint in passing
Don't touch the pictures!
The sacristan warned me
Because nobody there explained anything
A missing arrow
In the image of Saint Sebastian
Hail Mary, hallelujah
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, hallelujah
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, hallelujah
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, hallelujah
Hail Mary
