A Ovelhinha Lyrics Translation in English

Era uma vez uma ovelhinha

Once upon a time there was a little sheep

Quebrou sua perninha ao fugir

She broke her little leg while running away

Fugiu do aprisco toda rebeldinha

She fled from the fold, quite rebellious

Fez malcriação pro seu pastor

She misbehaved towards her shepherd

O pastor amado saiu a procurar

The beloved shepherd went out to search

Deixou noventa e nove a lhe esperar

Left ninety-nine waiting for him

O pastor amado achou sua ovelhinha

The beloved shepherd found his little sheep

Toda machucadinha no espinhal

All bruised in the thicket

Tomou-a em seus braços

He took her in his arms

Curou suas feridas

He healed her wounds

Livrando ela também do lobo mau

Also saving her from the big bad wolf
