Lyrics

CALIX BENTO
Ah Deus salve o oratorio
Onde Deus fez a morada
Onde mora o calix bento
E a hostia consagrada
De jécé nasceu a vara
Da vara nasceu a flor
Eda flor nasceu Maria
De Maria o Salvador

Lyrics translation

CALIX BENTO
Oh God Save The Oratory
Where God made the dwelling place
Where does calix bento live
And the consecrated host
From jecé was born the stick
From the stick was born the flower
Eda flower was born Mary
From Mary the Savior
