Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Eu já fui ovelha errante

I was once a wandering sheep

Do pastor eu me afastei

I strayed away from the shepherd

Quis seguir os meus caminhos

I wanted to follow my own paths

E do aprisco me ausentei

And departed from the fold

Foi um passo após o outro

Step by step, without noticing, I got lost

Sem notar eu me perdi

And it was already dark night

E já era noite escura

I wanted to return, but I couldn't

Quis voltar não consegui

Desperation surrounded me


E cercou-me o desespero

Despair overwhelmed me

Tive medo de morrer

I was afraid of dying

Pois o frio congelava

Because the cold was freezing

Não podia me mover

I couldn't move

Porque fui assim tão longe

Why did I go so far?

Que tolice cometi

What foolishness have I committed?

Se pudesse eu voltaria

If I could, I would go back

Para nunca mais sair

To never leave again


De repente ouvi ao longe

Suddenly I heard in the distance

Uma voz tão familiar

A voice so familiar

Era o meu pastor chamando

It was my shepherd calling

Quase rouco de gritar

Almost hoarse from shouting

Me avistou lá no penhasco

He spotted me on the cliff

E correu pra me alcançar

And ran to reach me

Estendeu o seu cajado

He extended his staff

Conseguiu me resgatar

Managed to rescue me


Choro agora de tristeza

Now I cry with sadness

No meu peito sinto a dor

In my chest, I feel the pain

Dor maior é quando penso

Greater pain is when I think

Que deixei o meu pastor

That I left my shepherd

Que me abraça em seu peito

Who embraces me in his bosom

E com força me sustém

And strongly sustains me

Seu amor então me acalma

His love then calms me

E me faz sentir tão bem

And makes me feel so good

Seu amor então me acalma

His love then calms me

E me faz sentir tão bem

And makes me feel so good
