Na Beira do Tanque Lyrics Translation in English

Na beira daquele tanque

At the edge of that tank

Os enfermos se encontravam

The sick were gathered there

Esperando receber a cura

Waiting to receive the healing

Que tanto eles almejavam

That they so desired

Quando o anjo do céu descia

When the angel from heaven descended

E as águas do tanque agitava

And stirred the waters of the tank

O primeiro que ali descia

The first one to descend there

A cura de Deus alcançava

Attained God's healing

Oh glória ao meu Jesus

Oh glory to my Jesus

Oh glória ao meu senhor

Oh glory to my Lord

Porque até hoje seu poder

Because until today His power

Nunca, nunca mudou

Has never, never changed

Mas existia um pobre homem

But there was a poor man

Que sempre ali ficava

Who always stayed there

Deitado em uma cama

Lying on a bed

Há trinta e oito anos

For thirty-eight years

Paralítico estava

He was paralyzed

Em vez de receber a cura

Instead of receiving healing

Era outro que alcançava

It was another who achieved

Porque era paralítico

Because he was paralyzed

E da cama não se levantava

And could not get up from the bed

Mas um dia Jesus passando

But one day Jesus passing by

A ele assim falou

Spoke to him like this

Levante, pega a sua cama

Rise, take your bed

Quem te ordena é o salvador

The one ordering you is the Savior

O homem se levantou

The man got up

E a cama então pegou

And then took his bed

Saiu gritando ao povo

He went out shouting to the people

Dizendo Jesus me curou

Saying, "Jesus healed me"
