Distantes Próximos Lyrics Translation in English

Certa vez alguém caído percebeu

Once someone fallen realized

Que os outros eram outros como eu

That others were others like me

Perceberam seu cansaço,

They noticed his weariness

Mas, distantes nos seus passos,

But, distant in their steps

Se negaram a lhe oferecer a mão

They refused to lend a hand

Mas, no meio desses outros houve alguém

But among these others there was someone

Que, chegando perto logo o ajudou

Who, coming closer, immediately helped

Pois tratou seus machucados,

For they treated his wounds

Deu carona e uns trocados

Gave him a ride and some change

E, ainda, com amor o hospedou

And even, with love, hosted him

Esse é o mundo de distantes próximos

This is the world of distant closeness

Essa gente tão igual a nós

This people so similar to us

Que está só porque passamos longe,

Who are alone because we pass by far,

Mas...

But...

Alguém tem que lhe dar o pão!

Someone has to give them bread!

Alguém tem que mostrar-lhe a luz!

Someone has to show them the light!

Alguém, que ame igual (a) Jesus

Someone who loves like Jesus
