Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Nossa alma como um pássaro escapou

Our soul, like a bird, escaped

Do laço que lhe armara o caçador!

From the snare set by the hunter!


Se o Senhor não estivesse ao nosso lado,

If the Lord had not been on our side,

Quando os homens investiram contra nós,

When men rose up against us,

Com certeza nos teriam devorado

Surely they would have swallowed us alive

No furor de sua ira contra nós, contra nós.

In their burning anger against us, against us.


Então as águas nos teriam submergido,

Then the waters would have engulfed us,

A correnteza nos teria arrastado.

The torrent would have swept over us.

E então, por sobre nós teriam passado

And then, over us, would have swept

Essas águas sempre mais impetuosas, impetuosas.

Those ever more tumultuous waters, tumultuous.


O laço arrebentou-se de repente,

The snare broke suddenly,

E assim nós conseguimos libertar-nos.

And thus we managed to free ourselves.

O nosso auxílio está no nome do Senhor,

Our help is in the name of the Lord,

Do Senhor que fez o céu e fez a terra, fez a terra!

The Lord who made heaven and earth, made the earth!
