Barrabás Lyrics Translation in English

No fundo de uma cela fria, estava eu e a solidão

In the depths of a cold cell, I was with loneliness

Alegria tinha ido embora

Joy had gone away

Eu esperava a hora da execução

I awaited the hour of execution

O pranto molhando o meu rosto

Tears wetting my face

E eu revendo os meus pecados

And reviewing my sins

Me vi num beco sem saída

I found myself in a dead-end

Pois durante a vida eu fiz tudo errado

For throughout life, I did everything wrong

E eu sofrendo ali desesperado

And there, suffering in despair

Chegou um soldado, tirou as correntes e falou pra mim

A soldier arrived, removed the chains, and said to me

Você vai se livrar da morte

You will be spared from death

É seu dia de sorte, você pode ir

It's your lucky day, you can go

E ele disse: Vai em paz

And he said: Go in peace

Você não tem mais nenhum motivo pra ficar

You have no more reason to stay

Outra pessoa vai morrer em seu lugar

Another person will die in your place

Eu era um criminoso e Ele era sem pecado

I was a criminal, and He was without sin

Eu estava sendo solto e Ele sendo condenado

I was being set free, and He was being condemned

Eu era a malícia e Ele era sem maldade

I was malice, and He was without malice

Eu era a mentira e Ele era a verdade

I was lies, and He was the truth

E eu estava em plena guerra e Ele trouxe-me a paz

And I was in full war, and He brought me peace

Ele era Jesus Cristo e eu era Barrabás

He was Jesus Christ, and I was Barrabas

E eu sofrendo ali desesperado

And there, suffering in despair

Chegou um soldado, tirou as correntes e falou pra mim

A soldier arrived, removed the chains, and said to me

Você vai se livrar da morte

You will be spared from death

É seu dia de sorte, você pode ir

It's your lucky day, you can go

E ele disse: Vai em paz

And he said: Go in peace

Você não tem mais nenhum motivo pra ficar

You have no more reason to stay

Outra pessoa vai morrer em seu lugar

Another person will die in your place

Eu era um criminoso e Ele era sem pecado

I was a criminal, and He was without sin

Eu estava sendo solto e Ele sendo condenado

I was being set free, and He was being condemned

Eu era a malícia e Ele era sem maldade

I was malice, and He was without malice

Eu era a mentira e Ele era a verdade

I was lies, and He was the truth

E eu estava em plena guerra e Ele trouxe-me a paz

And I was in full war, and He brought me peace

Ele era Jesus Cristo e eu era Barrabás

He was Jesus Christ, and I was Barrabas

Ele era Jesus Cristo e eu era Barrabás

He was Jesus Christ, and I was Barrabas
