Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Castelo forte é nosso Deus

Our God is a mighty fortress

Amparo e fortaleza

A refuge and strength

Com seu poder defende os seus

With His power, He defends His own

Na luta e na fraqueza

In struggle and in weakness

Nos tenta Satanás

Satan tempts us

Com fúria pertinaz

With persistent fury

Com artimanhas tais

With such cunning schemes

E astúcias tão cruéis

And cruel wiles

Que iguais não há na Terra

That there are none like them on Earth


A nossa força nada faz

Our own strength does nothing

Estamos, sim, perdidos

We are indeed lost

Mas nosso Deus socorro traz

But our God brings help

E somos protegidos

And we are protected

Defende-nos Jesus

Jesus defends us

O que venceu na cruz

He who conquered on the cross

O Senhor dos altos céus

The Lord of the highest heavens

E sendo também Deus

And being God as well

Triunfa na batalha

Triumphs in the battle


Se nos quisessem devorar

If demons wanted to devour us

Demônios não contados

Countless demons

Não nos podiam assustar

Could not frighten us

Nem somos derrotados

Nor are we defeated

O grande acusador

The great accuser

Dos servos do Senhor

Of the servants of the Lord

Já condenado está

Is already condemned

Vencido cairá

He will fall defeated

Por uma só palavra

By just one word


Que Deus a luta vencerá

God will win the struggle

Sabemos com certeza

We know with certainty

E nada nos assustará

And nothing will frighten us

Com Cristo por defesa

With Christ as our defense

Se temos de perder

If we have to lose

Família, bens, poder

Family, possessions, power

E, embora a vida vá

And even if life goes away

Por nós Jesus está

Jesus is with us

E dar-nos-á seu reino

And will give us His kingdom
