Monte Caveira Lyrics Translation in English

Começa o dia, na manhã de sexta-feira

The day begins on Friday morning

Jesus vai levando a cruz, em direção ao Caveira

Jesus carries the cross towards Calvary

A multidão, curiosa acompanhava

The crowd, curious, was following

Muita gente escarnecia, poucas mulheres choravam

Many mocked, few women wept

Quando chegaram, ao lugar determinado

When they arrived at the appointed place

Crucificaram Jesus, e um ladrão de cada lado

They crucified Jesus, with a thief on each side

Na cruz pregado, fala o Príncipe da Paz

Nailed to the cross, speaks the Prince of Peace

Pai perdoa a multidão, ela não sabe o que faz

Father, forgive the crowd, they do not know what they do

Como um cordeiro não abriu a sua boca

Like a lamb, he did not open his mouth

Mesmo tendo a voz tão rouca, pelo homem intercedeu

Even with his voice so hoarse, he interceded for man

E lá na cruz, meu Jesus foi pendurado

And on the cross, my Jesus was hung

Pra tirar os meus pecados

To take away my sins

Oh como Jesus sofreu!

Oh, how Jesus suffered!

Todos zombavam, os soldados escarneciam

All mocked, the soldiers mocked

Ofereceram vinagre, pra ver se Jesus bebia

They offered vinegar to see if Jesus would drink

Lhe maltratavam, com palavras e pancadas

They mistreated him with words and blows

Mesmo assim Jesus amava, e pelo homem intercedia

Yet Jesus loved and interceded for man

Um dos ladrões, blasfemava enfurecido

One of the thieves blasphemed in anger

Mas o ladrão da direita, já estava arrependido

But the thief on the right was already repentant

Disse: Jesus, lembra de mim, eu preciso

Said: Jesus, remember me, I need

Jesus disse: Hoje mesmo estarás no paraíso

Jesus said: Today you will be in paradise

À hora sexta, toda Terra estremeceu

At the sixth hour, the whole Earth shook

Nesta hora o Sol não deu, sua refulgente luz

At this hour, the Sun did not give its radiant light

O véu do templo, de alto a baixo se rasgou

The temple veil from top to bottom tore

Toda Terra demonstrou seu respeito por Jesus

The whole Earth showed its respect for Jesus

Pegaram o corpo de Jesus e sepultaram

They took Jesus' body and buried it

Guardas ali colocaram, pra pastorar o Senhor

Guards were placed there to watch over the Lord

Quando pensavam, ter um Cristo derrotado

When they thought they had a defeated Christ

No domingo constataram que Jesus ressuscitou

On Sunday, they realized that Jesus had risen
