English Translation

Sempre que leio a história de Cristo

Whenever I read the story of Christ

Eu fico a pensar com grande emoção

I find myself thinking with great emotion

No privilegio que muitoa tiveram

About the privilege that many had

De ver seu rosto, sentir sua mão

To see His face, feel His hand

Eu também teria a mesma alegria

I too would have the same joy

De te-lo bem perto, bem juntinho a mim

To have Him very close, right next to me

E olhar os seus serenos e meigos

And gaze upon His serene and gentle features

Oh,como eu seria tão feliz assim

Oh, how happy I would be like that


Queria saber como era seu rosto

I wanted to know what His face was like

Embora eu sinta quhe era muito lindo

Although I feel that it was very beautiful

Inspirava fé e também confiança

It inspired faith and also trust

E dava a todos um gozo infinito

And gave everyone infinite joy

e ao ver as gravuras nos quadros pintados

And seeing the engravings in the painted frames

Aquilo que dizem ser o meu Senhor

What they say is my Lord

Meu ser não aceita o que está na tela

My being does not accept what is on the canvas

E falsa a inspiração do pintor

And the painter's inspiration is false


Não creio, não creio, num Cristo vencido

I do not believe, I do not believe, in a defeated Christ

Cheio de amargura, semblante de dor

Full of bitterness, a face of pain

Eu creio num Cristo de rosto alegre

I believe in a Christ with a joyful face

eu creio num Cristo que é vencedor

I believe in a Christ who is victorious

E um dia também o verei face a face

And one day I will also see Him face to face

E assim eu creio pela minha fé

And so I believe through my faith

Oh ,aleluia verei o seu rosto

Oh, hallelujah, I will see His face

Verei a Jesus como ele é

I will see Jesus as He is
