Oração do Pau D’Água
Santa Cana que se extrai da roça, purificado seja o teu caldo. Aguardente sem mistura, venha a nós o vosso líquido, a ser bebida à nossa vontade, assim no boteco como em qualquer lugar. Cinco litros por dia nos dai hoje, perdoai o dia em que bebemos de menos assim como perdoamos o mal que a “marvada” faz. Não nos deixeis cair atordoados e livrai-nos da rádio-patrulha. Amém. Hic!
