Lyrics
Santo Milagreiro – São Raimundo dos Mulundus
Quem é romeiro é estradeiro
De pé no chão
Vela na mão vem de lá
Das bandas do iguará
E num lampejo de inspiração de oração
Pelo sinal da cruz fica na beira da paulica
Carrega o andor não se importa com a dor
É catimbeiro aposta no amor
Que vingou
São Raimundo dos Mulundus
Milagreiro
Ê santo vaqueiro
Meu irmão Jesus
São Raimundo dos Mulundus
Milagreiro
Ê santo vaqueiro
Me alivia a cruz
Glossário:

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
Santo Milagreiro – São Raimundo dos Mulundus
Miracle-worker Saint – Saint Raymond of Mulundus
Who is a pilgrim is surely a road roamer
barefooted on the ground
With the the candle in their hands
they come from Iguará lands
and in a flash of profound inspiration
for the holy sign of cross in Paulica sanctuary
When carrying the ornated bier, the pain soon disappear
Is crafty, always betting on Love
And always won
Saint Raymond of Mulundus, Miracle worker
Is a herdsman saint
My brother Jesus
Saint Raymond of Mulundus, Miracle worker
Is a herdsman saint
Relieves the weight of the cross
This lyrics depicts the religious festivities honoring Saint Raymond, and it happens in my hometown, Vargem Grande, state of Maranhão.
The weird fact about this celebration is that the official Saint celebrated by the Catholic church is Saint Raymond Nonato, but for the local people, the owner of the party is the herdsman Raymond, Born in Mulundus and worshiped by the crowd as a Saint.
Glossary:
River of the Region
Paulica – located 6 Km from the main town – it is a sanctuary to where the pilgrims lead the Saint image statue in a procession on the 22nd, and bring it back to the church at the end of the Day.
