A Hora Sexta Lyrics Translation in English
Jacira SilvaPortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Desde a hora sexta até a hora nona
From the sixth hour to the ninth hour
Houve trevas sobre a terra, e tudo escureceu
There were darkness over the land, and everything became dark
Por volta da hora nona, quando tudo estava escuro
Around the ninth hour, when everything was dark
Jesus bradou bem alto, e algo estranho aconteceu
Jesus cried out loudly, and something strange happened
Deus meu, por que me desamparaste?
My God, why have you forsaken me?
Os meus amigos me desprezaram, e o meu sangue derramou
My friends despised me, and my blood was shed
Meu coração como cera se derreteu
My heart melted like wax
Me derramei como água
I poured out like water
Mas o Senhor é o meu Deus
But the Lord is my God
Assim que Cristo expirou, o véu logo se rasgou
As soon as Christ expired, the veil immediately tore
A terra também tremeu e as rochas se fenderam
The earth also trembled, and the rocks split
Abriram-se os sepulcros, e os santos ressuscitaram
The tombs were opened, and the saints were resurrected
Estava tudo consumado, e Jesus é o vencedor
It was all accomplished, and Jesus is the victor
