Sequência Pascal Lyrics Translation in English
Instrumento D Paz
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Cantai, cristãos, afinal
Sing, Christians, at last
Salve, ó vítima pascal!
Hail, O Paschal victim!
Cordeiro inocente, o Cristo
Innocent Lamb, Christ
Abriu-nos do Pai o aprisco
Opened to us the Father's fold
Por toda ovelha imolado
For every sheep sacrificed
Do mundo lava o pecado
Washes away the world's sin
Duelam forte e mais forte
Let them duel strong and stronger
É a vida que vence a morte
Life triumphs over death
O Rei da vida, cativo
The King of life, captive
Foi morto, mas reina vivo!
Was killed but reigns alive!
Responde, pois, ó Maria
Answer then, O Mary
No caminho o que havia?
On the way, what was there?
Vi Cristo ressuscitado
I saw Christ resurrected
O túmulo abandonado
The tomb abandoned
Os anjos da cor do Sol
Angels, the color of the sun
Dobrado no chão o lençol
The folded linen on the ground
O Cristo que leva aos céus
Christ who leads to heaven
Caminha à frente dos seus!
Walks ahead of His own!
Ressuscitou, de verdade!
He truly resurrected!
Ó Cristo Rei, piedade!
O Christ the King, have mercy!
