Ai, de mim, pelo pecado — Lyrics
Ai de mim, pelo pecado,
Sem meu Deus, sem pai fiquei.
Céus, ó céus, que desvairado!
Que fiz fiz eu? Quanto pequei!
Dele o sangue sacrossanto,
muitas vezes derramei!
A mim mesmo causo espanto,
Que fiz fiz eu? Quanto pequei!
Meu Jesus, muito vos devo,
Sempre a todos o direi.
A falarvos mal me atrevo:
Que fiz eu? Quanto pequei!

The lyrics express deep sorrow and regret for sin, with the singer lamenting their fallen state and acknowledging their transgressions against God. The text is a personal plea for forgiveness and intercession from the Virgin Mary, seeking guidance towards contrition and a righteous path. This devotional piece would be suitable for Lenten services or any occasion calling for reflection on sin and redemption.
