Pregais o Cristo de Braga
Fazeis a guerra na rua
Sempre virados prò céu
Sempre virados prà Virgem
A Santa Cruzada manda
Matar o chivo vermelho
Contra a foice e o martelo
Contra a alfabetização
Curai de ganhar agora
Os vossos novos clientes
Além do pide e do bufo
Amigos do usurário
Além do latifundiário
Amigo do Capelão
"Abre Nuncio Vade Retro
Querem vender a nação"
"A medicina é ateia
Não cuida da salvação"
Que o diga o facultativo
Que o diga o cirurgião
Que o digam as criancinhas
"Rezas sim, parteiras não"
Se o Pinochet concordasse
Já em Fátima haveria
Mais de trinta mil vermelhos
A arder de noite e de dia
Caridade, a quanto obrigas
Só trinta mil voluntários
"Cristo reina Cristo vinga"
Nos vossos santos ovários
E também nos lampadários
E também nos trintanários
Abre Nuncio Vade Retro
Querem vender a nação
Ó Carnaval da capela
Ó liturgia do altar
Já lá vem Camilo Torres
Com o seu fusil a sangrar
Igreja dos privilégios
Mataste o Cristo a galope
Também Franco, o assassino
Mandou benzer o garrote
José Manuel Cerqueira Afonso dos Santos, in arte Zeca Afonso (Lisbona, 1929 – Lisbona, 1987), è stato uno dei cantautori più influenti del Portogallo. Considerato un'icona della musica popolare portoghese, ha intrecciato la sua musica con temi sociali e politici, diventando voce di una generazione in cerca di libertà e giustizia sociale. Afonso ha iniziato la sua carriera negli anni '50, collaborando con diverse orchestre e gruppi musicali. Nel 1964 ha pubblicato il suo primo album, "O Homem da Meia Noite", che lo ha lanciato sulla scena musicale portoghese. Le sue canzoni, spesso caratterizzate da melodie orecchiabili e testi incisivi, hanno affrontato temi come la povertà, l'oppressione politica e la lotta per i diritti civili. Tra le sue canzoni più famose ricordiamo "Grândola, Vila Morena", "A Minha Casa", "O Homem da Meia Noite" e "E Depois do Adeus". Afonso ha continuato a pubblicare album di successo fino alla sua morte nel 1987. La sua musica continua ad essere ascoltata e apprezzata in Portogallo e all'estero, rendendolo un vero e proprio patrimonio culturale nazionale.
