Portuguese 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
