Espero ter a dita — Lyrics
Espero ter a dita,
No céu, na pátria santa,
De ver a Mãe bendita,
Que a toda terra encanta.
No céu, no céu, no céu,
Espero ver Maria.
Na pátria gloriosa,
dos anjos na harmonia,
Minha alma jubilosa,
Contemplará Maria.
Que paz e que doçura,
no derradeiro dia,

About Espero ter a dita
This unison sacred song in Portuguese comes from the Magnificat, a 1956 collection of liturgical chants. The lyrics express a devout longing to see the Blessed Mother in heaven, finding solace and joy in the prospect of being with Maria in the glorious homeland of the angels. The text speaks of forgetting earthly troubles and finding peace and sweetness on the final day, united with Mary. It is a prayer of devotion, calling her a guiding light whose soul is dedicated to her until death.
