"Jorge da Capadócia" by Jorge Ben
April 23rd is a state holiday in Rio de Janeiro, celebrated in honor of Saint George's Day. Among his many devotees is Jorge Ben, who paid tribute to the saint in several songs, sometimes blended with Afro-Brazilian spirituality, through Saint George's syncretic counterpart, Ogum. One of his most iconic songs is "Jorge da Capadócia", released in 1975 on the album Solta o Pavão, featuring direct lines from a traditional prayer to Saint George, invoking protection against enemies. Find the full translation with our friends at Translationsmith. Over the years, the song has become a staple of Brazilian music, covered by influential artists like Caetano Veloso, pop singer Fernanda Abreu, and hip-hop legends Racionais MCs.
