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
