Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Madeiro lavrado, martelo e cravos

Hewn timber, hammer, and nails

Coroa de espinhos, tudo preparado

Crown of thorns, all prepared

Aguardando estava uma multidão

Awaiting was a multitude

O triste momento da crucificação

The sorrowful moment of crucifixion


Ele sendo julgado, e tão humilhado

He being judged, and so humiliated

Ouvindo o som da turba a gritar

Hearing the crowd's clamor

Solta Barrabás, e mata o Nazareno

Release Barabbas, and kill the Nazarene


Pilatos lavando as mãos

Pilate washing his hands

E pra o povo agradar

To please the people

Entregue Jesus aos carrascos, está

Delivered Jesus to the executioners, he is


Sem dó os carrascos, o chicoteavam

Without mercy, the executioners whipped Him

Cuspiam em Seu rosto, e dele zombavam

They spat on His face, and mocked Him

E Ele sofrendo com a pesada cruz

And He suffering with the heavy cross

Oh que grande dor

Oh, what great pain


Seguiu meu Jesus, sendo tão maltratado

My Jesus followed, so mistreated

Sentindo a dor pelos nossos pecados

Feeling the pain for our sins

Levando em Seus ombros

Bearing on His shoulders

A pesada cruz, sem reclamar

The heavy cross, without complaint


Chegando o momento de o crucificarem

When the time came to crucify Him

Sua mãe chorando, sem consolação

His mother crying, inconsolable

Os cravos furando Seus pés e Suas mãos

The nails piercing His feet and His hands

Seu suor em sangue caindo no chão

His sweat in blood falling to the ground


Ele sentindo sede, vinagre Lhe deram

Feeling thirsty, they gave Him vinegar

Não tinha ninguém para O consolar

There was no one to console Him

E na hora nona exclamou dizendo

And at the ninth hour, He exclaimed, saying

Eli, Eli, Lamá, Sabactâni?

Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?

Rendeu Seu espírito e ali expirou

He yielded His spirit and there He expired


Naquele momento a Terra tremeu

At that moment, the Earth shook

O véu se rasgou, o Sol escureceu

The veil was torn, the Sun darkened

Pedras se fenderam

Stones split

E muitos sepulcros de santos se abriram

And many tombs of saints were opened


O centurião logo entendeu

The centurion soon understood

Ao ver a revolta na Terra e no céu

Seeing the turmoil on Earth and in the sky

Disse assustado

He said, astonished

Na verdade este homem, era o Filho de Deus

Truly, this man was the Son of God


Um grande silêncio na terra havia

A great silence on the Earth prevailed

Tudo era triste, sem alegria

All was sad, without joy

Maria chorando com as outras mulheres

Mary crying with the other women

Caminhavam ao túmulo onde Ele jazia

Walking to the tomb where He lay


Chegando ali contemplou um anjo

Arriving there, they beheld an angel

Sentado na pedra que já removida

Sitting on the stone that was removed


Com voz tão suave o anjo falou

With a gentle voice, the angel spoke

Maria, não temas! Sei a quem buscais

Mary, fear not! I know whom you seek

Não está aqui, já ressuscitou

He is not here, He has already risen


O túmulo não pôde deter meu Jesus

The tomb could not hold my Jesus

A morte, o inferno Ele venceu na cruz

Death, hell, He conquered on the cross

Satã derrotado

Satan defeated

Pois sua cabeça meu Cristo esmagou

For my Christ crushed his head


Eu digo bem alto: Meu Cristo é o maior

I proclaim loudly: My Christ is the greatest

Foi Ele que a morte na cruz derrotou

He who defeated death on the cross

A vitória é nossa

Victory is ours

Pois o nosso Cristo, já ressuscitou

For our Christ has already risen
