A Centésima Ovelha Lyrics Translation in English
Feliciano AmaralPortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Menos uma ovelha contei no meu redil
One less sheep I counted in my fold
Que pelas montanhas a sós preferiu
Who, through the mountains, chose to be alone
É chegada a noite, o Sol já descansou
The night has come, the Sun has already rested
E a minha ovelha não voltou
And my sheep has not returned
Ide buscar a desgarrada
Go seek the lost one
A centésima ovelha fugaz
The elusive hundredth sheep
Tão distante, está desamparada
So distant, she is left unprotected
Quero dar-lhe abrigo e a paz
I want to give her shelter and peace
Deve ter ouvido a enganosa voz
She must have heard the deceitful voice
De um certo inimigo astuto e feroz
Of a certain cunning and fierce enemy
É passada a noite, o Sol já despertou
The night has passed, the Sun has awakened
E a minha ovelha não voltou
And my sheep has not returned
Ide buscar a desgarrada
Go seek the lost one
A centésima ovelha fugaz
The elusive hundredth sheep
Tão distante, está desamparada
So distant, she is left unprotected
Quero dar-lhe abrigo e a paz
I want to give her shelter and peace
Ide buscar a desgarrada
Go seek the lost one
A centésima ovelha fugaz
The elusive hundredth sheep
Tão distante, está desamparada
So distant, she is left unprotected
Quero dar-lhe abrigo e a paz
I want to give her shelter and peace
