Zaqueu, o Publicano Lyrics Translation in English
Josué Barbosa LiraPortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Um homem pequeno, chamado Zaqueu
A small man, called Zacchaeus
Subiu na figueira, pra ver o senhor
He climbed a fig tree to see the Lord
Jesus Cristo passando, para cima olhou
Jesus Christ passing, looked up
Contemplando a Zaqueu, para si o chamou
Contemplating Zacchaeus, He called him
Oh, Zaqueu, desce depressa
Oh, Zacchaeus, come down quickly
Hoje convém ir contigo pousar
Today it is fitting to stay with you
Oh, Zaqueu, desce depressa
Oh, Zacchaeus, come down quickly
Hoje convém ir contigo pousar
Today it is fitting to stay with you
Zaqueu, muito alegre, depressa desceu
Zacchaeus, very joyful, quickly descended
Recebendo, gostoso, o filho de Deus
Receiving, joyfully, the Son of God
E chegando em casa, o bom mestre entrou
And arriving home, the good Master entered
Pois Zaqueu deu ouvidos, ao chamado de amor
For Zacchaeus listened to the call of love
Senhor, se a alguém tenho eu defraudado
Lord, if I have defrauded anyone
Eu devolvo agora, tudo quadruplicado
I now return everything fourfold
Jesus Cristo, alegre, muito, muito ficou
Jesus Christ, joyful, stayed very much
Pois Zaqueu deu ouvidos, para o seu salvador
For Zacchaeus listened to his Savior
