Barrabás Lyrics Translation in English

No fundo de uma cela fria

In the depths of a cold cell

Estava eu e a solidão

It was just me and loneliness

A 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 I reviewing my sins

Me vi em um beco sem saída

I saw myself in a dead-end

Pois durante a vida eu fiz tudo errado

For throughout life, I did everything wrong

Eu sofrendo ali desesperado

I suffered there in desperation

Chegou um soldado

A soldier arrived

Tirou as correntes e falou para mim

Removed the chains and said to me

Você vai se livrar da morte

You will escape death

É seu dia de sorte você pode ir

It's your lucky day; you can go

E Ele disse vá em paz

And He said, go in peace

Você não tem mais

You have no more

Nenhum motivo pra ficar

No reason to stay

Outra pessoa vai morrer em teu lugar

Another person will die in your place

Coro:

< i > Chorus:

Eu era um criminoso

I was a criminal

E Ele era sem pecado

And He was without sin

Eu estava sendo solto

I was being released

E Ele sendo condenado

And He was being condemned

Eu era o engano

I was the mistake

E Ele era sem maldade

And He was without malice

Eu era a mentira

I was the lie

E Ele era a verdade

And He was the truth

Eu estava em plena guerra

I was in full war

Só Ele quem tinha a paz

Only He had peace

O seu nome é Jesus Cristo

His name is Jesus Christ

E eu era Barrabás.

And I was Barrabas
