Lua cheia clareou
Olha no céu quem ta lá

Lua cheia clareou
Olha no céu quem ta lá

Cavaleiro de Deus
vencedor de demanda
Ele é fiel companheiro
seus filhos e filhas
sozinho não andam

Full moon shining bright
Look in the sky — who’s there?

Full moon shining bright
Look in the sky — who’s there?

God’s warrior on his horse
victorious in every battle
He is a faithful companion
his sons and daughters
never walk alone
