Terra Fria Lyrics Translation in English
Edinaldo do Rio
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Corpo do divino mestre amado
Body of the divine beloved master
A terra fria e húmida desceu
The cold and humid earth descended
Ficou três dias em volto em trevas
Remained three days surrounded by darkness
O sobrenatural o envolveu
The supernatural enveloped him
Em cima da terra, havia muita luz
On top of the earth, there was much light
Porem na sepultura estava o meu Jesus
But in the grave was my Jesus
As entranhas da terra tremeram ao sentir
The entrails of the earth trembled at feeling
O toque desse corpo que era posto sobre si
The touch of this body placed upon it
O corpo estava sobre pedra
The body was on the stone
Exposto à decomposição, mas eis que era chegada a hora
Exposed to decomposition, but the time had come
Do seu espírito entrar em ação
For his spirit to come into action
Voltando no templo, ao passado tornou
Returning to the temple, he turned to the past
Ao tempo do dilúvio as catacumbas visitou
At the time of the flood, he visited the catacombs
Desceu as prisões, e a palavra pregou
He descended into prisons and preached the word
As almas cativas do inferno libertou
He liberated the captive souls from hell
Lido então a profecia, e o próprio em vida revelou
Then reading the prophecy, he revealed himself alive
Que o templo em três dias se ergueria
That the temple would rise in three days
E ao terceiro dia levantou
And on the third day, he rose
Vencendo a morte, as trevas derrotou
Conquering death, he defeated the darkness
Da terra fria e úmida Jesus ressuscitou
From the cold and humid earth, Jesus resurrected
Promessa divina ao mundo deixou
He left a divine promise to the world
Que em breve voltaria Jesus morto não ficou
That soon Jesus would return, not remaining dead
