A Brazilian priest's song about faith, memory, and what gets lost between the interior and the city.
He describes a place 'Aonde a religião / Ainda é importante', where religion still matters.
The image is specific: someone passing in front of the church makes the sign of the cross and thinks of God 'E não sente vergonha de ter fé', and isn't ashamed to have faith.

Padre Ezequiel's hymn from the countryside
A Brazilian priest's song about faith, memory, and what gets lost between the interior and the city.
E não sente vergonha de ter fé
He describes a place 'Aonde a religião / Ainda é importante', where religion still matters. The image is specific: someone passing in front of the church makes the sign of the cross and thinks of God 'E não sente vergonha de ter fé', and isn't ashamed to have faith. That lack of shame is the quiet center of the verse.
In a few words, it captures a whole social atmosphere, the unselfconscious faith of a specific place, contrasted with whatever comes after. He's describing what he remembers, not arguing for it.
The way he repeats 'Não sei viver!' three times at the end, it's less a shout than a grounded insistence, a personal fact stated plainly.

Eu vim de lá
Do interior
Aonde a religião
Ainda é importante
Lá se alguém passa
Em frente da matriz
Se benze e pensa em Deus
E não sente vergonha de ter fé
Eu vim de lá do interior
E sei que a religião
Já não influi mais tanto
Nas pessoas
Sei que a televisão
O rádio e o jornal
Convencem mais cabeças
Do que o padre lá no altar
Mas deixa eu lhe dizer
Que eu ainda creio e quero crer
Que sem religião não sei viver
Não sei viver!
Não sei viver!
