The lamps of the Christmas tree was lit the snow fall from the skies passes Christmas comes January comes February rainy seasons carnival times the samba dancing in the streets the land is flowing a procisao of people continued parading costumed by the streets the churches a procisao continued walking with candles in their hands to the small town of Aparecida the pilgrims prayed a father of ours and a maria bird following the long roads to Aparecida sometimes it rained and sometimes it was sunny some nights were cold others the wind carried the leaves of the peach trees and fig trees far away the song of the birds was shaken but of peace
