English Translation

Cristo nos deu uma fonte escondida

Christ gave us a hidden spring

Que qualquer sede pode estancar

That can quench any thirst

E cujas águas repletas de vida, de vida

And whose waters, full of life, of life

Sempre de graça nos hão de fartar

Will always satisfy us freely


Água sairá, viva manará

Water will flow, living water will spring forth

Da fonte que abriu o Senhor, água correrá

From the fountain opened by the Lord, water will flow

Se todos quiserem beber, não se esgotará

If everyone wants to drink, it will not run out

Milhares de milhares venham, sempre sairá

Thousands upon thousands come, it will always flow


Há muitas fontes de gozo no mundo

There are many sources of joy in the world

Nelas os homens vão sempre beber

Men will always drink from them

Mas são cisternas e poços imundos, imundos

But they are cisterns and filthy wells, filthy

Que águas vivas não podem conter

That cannot contain living waters


Água sairá, viva manará

Water will flow, living water will spring forth

Da fonte que abriu o Senhor, água correrá

From the fountain opened by the Lord, water will flow

Se todos quiserem beber, não se esgotará

If everyone wants to drink, it will not run out

Milhares de milhares venham, sempre sairá

Thousands upon thousands come, it will always flow


Já muitos homens gastaram dinheiro

Many men have spent money

Sem a fonte de Deus encontrar

Without finding God's fountain

Mas Jesus Cristo é nosso roteiro, roteiro

But Jesus Christ is our guide, guide

Que para a fonte nos há de guiar

Who will lead us to the fountain


Água sairá, viva manará

Water will flow, living water will spring forth

Da fonte que abriu o Senhor, água correrá

From the fountain opened by the Lord, water will flow

Se todos quiserem beber, não se esgotará

If everyone wants to drink, it will not run out

Milhares de milhares venham, sempre sairá

Thousands upon thousands come, it will always flow


Oh Aleluia ao bom Pai supremo

Oh Hallelujah to the good Supreme Father

Pelas bênçãos que a todos quer dar

For the blessings he wants to give to all

E pela fonte de paz que nos temos, nós temos

And for the fountain of peace that we have, we have

Em nosso ser para nos alegrar

In our being to delight us


Água sairá, viva manará

Water will flow, living water will spring forth

Da fonte que abriu o Senhor, água correrá

From the fountain opened by the Lord, water will flow

Se todos quiserem beber, não se esgotará

If everyone wants to drink, it will not run out

Milhares de milhares venham, sempre sairá

Thousands upon thousands come, it will always flow
