Tapera Velha Lyrics Translation in English
Cicero NogueiraPortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Tapera velha toda distiorada
Old dilapidated shack
Pintura suja, parede rachada
Dirty paint, cracked walls
Era invadida o infame invasor
It was invaded by the infamous intruder
E dela não cuidava
And no one took care of it
Mas houve alguém que se agradou da mesma
But someone liked it
Pagou um preço que ela não valia
He paid a price it wasn't worth
Mas decidiu fazer sua morada
But decided to make it his dwelling
A partir desse dia
From that day on
Entrou na casa e pintou de vermelho
He entered the house and painted it red
Com sangue puro, sangue do cordeiro
With pure blood, the blood of the lamb
Fez o infame invasor fugir
He made the infamous intruder flee
Sem olhar para traz
Without looking back
Entrou na casa e botou fogo nela
He entered the house and set it on fire
Pôs energia e apagou a vela
He added energy and blew out the candle
Quem vê a casa nunca imagina
Anyone who sees the house never imagines
Que já foi tapera
That it used to be a shack
Tapera velha fui eu lá no mundo
I was an old shack in the world
Submergido no abismo profundo
Submerged in the deep abyss
Mas fui amado por Jesus no dia
But I was loved by Jesus on the day
Em que me encontrou
He found me
Abri a porta do meu coração
I opened the door of my heart
Ele adentrou e fez transformação
He entered and made a transformation
Sou templo do espírito de Deus
I am a temple of the spirit of God
Já tenho salvação
I already have salvation
