A Figueira Seca Lyrics Translation in English
Francisco de Assis SilvaPortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Da cidade de Betânia
From the city of Bethany
Bem cedo Jesus saiu
Early in the morning, Jesus went out
Sentiu fome e bem distante
He felt hungry, and far away
Logo uma figueira viu
Soon, he saw a fig tree
Foi olha se tinha frutos
He went to see if it had fruits
Mas só folhas descobriu
But only leaves he found
Figueira tão formosa
Oh, beautiful fig tree
Tão bela que tu estás
So lovely as you are
Em ti vim procurar fruto
In you, I came looking for fruit
Mas não pude encontrar
But I could not find any
Segundo a minha palavra
According to my word
Figueira tu secarás
Fig tree, you shall wither
Seus discípulos percebendo
His disciples realizing
Que a figueira secou
That the fig tree had withered
Ficaram admirados
They were amazed
Do poder do seu senhor
At the power of their Lord
Disseram: Grande profeta
They said: A great prophet
Entre nós se levantou
Has risen among us
Porque se tiveres fé
For if you have faith
Sem dúvidas no coração
Without doubts in your heart
Dirias a este monte
You would say to this mountain
Lança-te no mar e então
Throw yourself into the sea, and then
Verias a força da fé
You would see the power of faith
Fluindo pela oração
Flowing through prayer
