Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Zaqueu um certo dia ouviu falar

Zacchaeus one day heard it said

Que o salvador de Israel, em Jericó, ia passar

That the Savior of Israel, in Jericho, would pass by

E bem no fundo do seu coração

And deep in his heart

Ardentemente desejou com o senhor se encontrar

He ardently desired to meet the Lord

Eis que em meio à grande multidão

Behold, in the midst of the great crowd

Anunciando a salvação, surge Jesus a caminhar

Announcing salvation, Jesus appears to walk

Mas tão pequenino era Zaqueu que em uma árvore subiu

But so small was Zacchaeus that up a tree he climbed

Só para ver Jesus passar

Just to see Jesus pass by


Eu com alegria fiz como Zaqueu

I, with joy, did as Zacchaeus

Abri a porta do meu coração

I opened the door of my heart

E convidei Jesus para entrar

And invited Jesus to come in

Do meu coração ele jamais saiu

From my heart, he never departed

A minha pobre alma redimiu

He redeemed my poor soul

A minha vida pode transformar

He could transform my life


Jesus, ao pequenino, ordenou

Jesus, to the little one, commanded

Desce depressa, ó, Zaqueu

Come down quickly, oh, Zacchaeus

Em sua casa vou pousar

In your house, I will stay

Zaqueu alegremente obedeceu

Zacchaeus joyfully obeyed

Em sua casa recebeu

In his house, he received

Jesus que veio pra salvar

Jesus who came to save


Eu com alegria fiz como Zaqueu

I, with joy, did as Zacchaeus

Abri a porta do meu coração

I opened the door of my heart

E convidei Jesus para entrar

And invited Jesus to come in

Do meu coração ele jamais saiu

From my heart, he never departed

A minha pobre alma redimiu

He redeemed my poor soul

A minha vida pode transformar

He could transform my life
