Benedito Santo
De Jesus querido
Valha-me Deus
Que eu tenho sofrido
Que santo é aquele
Que vem no andor
É São Benedito
Enfeitado de flor (2x)
[Refrão]
É conga, é conga, é congada
Bate marimba e tambor
Vou pegar minha espada
Que eu também sou lutador (2x)
Sou do litoral do Norte
Sou filho de pescador
Batizado pela morte
E criado pela dor
Vou lutar pelo reinado
Contra o embaixador
Vou lutar pelo o reinado
Pois contra o pecado
Não há vencedor
[Refrão]
Eu cresci numa jangada
Eu não vivi, só lutei
Vou entrar nessa congada
Eu vou lutar pelo rei
O rei tem que ser honesto
Pra poder fazer a lei
À sua lei eu me presto
Mas se ele é honesto, eu não sei
[Refrão]
Que santo é aquele
Que vem no andor
É São Benedito
Enfeitado de flor (2x)
[Refrão]
