Alma Esponsal Lyrics Translation in English

Me chamaste a desposar uma aliança nupcial

You called me to espouse a nuptial alliance

Convidaste a entregar-me deixando tudo para trás

You invited me to surrender, leaving everything behind

Queres partilhar comigo a pobreza do presépio

You want to share with me the poverty of the manger

A pureza virginal e a obediência da cruz

The virginal purity and the obedience of the cross

E eu te seguirei senhor, meu dono

And I will follow you, Lord, my master

Meu esposo, meu irmão, meu doce senhor Jesus

My spouse, my brother, my sweet Lord Jesus

Me chamaste a despojar da glória terrenal

You called me to strip myself of earthly glory

E a me libertar das coisas e de toda vaidade

And to free myself from things and all vanity

Queres que a minha vida seja oferta em holocausto

You want my life to be an offering in holocaust

Entregue por completo a tua santa vontade

Completely surrendered to your holy will
