Homem Simples Lyrics Translation in English
JozyannePortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Queriam que tu fosses um guerreiro
They wanted you to be a warrior
Quando viestes a primeira vez
When you first came
Entre os conquistadores, o primeiro
Among conquerors, the first
Queriam que tu destruísses reis
They wanted you to destroy kings
Queriam que vencesses mil batalhas
They wanted you to win a thousand battles
Queriam multidões a te ovacionar
They wanted crowds to applaud you
Queriam que vencesses os exércitos
They wanted you to defeat armies
Queriam ver um grande general
They wanted to see a great general
Porém teu reino não é deste mundo
Yet your kingdom is not of this world
Tu és o grande rei celestial!
You are the great celestial king!
Viestes tu, Jesus
You came, Jesus
Como um homem simples, nada mais
As a simple man, nothing more
Em vez de um rei glorioso em conquistas
Instead of a glorious king in conquests
Chegastes como príncipe da paz
You arrived as the prince of peace
Chegastes manso e humilde qual cordeiro
You came gentle and humble like a lamb
Tua grande arma foi o amor
Your great weapon was love
Amastes sem reserva o mundo inteiro
You loved the entire world without reservation
Amastes criaturas sem valor
You loved creatures without value
Chamastes o cansado e abatido
You called the weary and burdened
Ao oprimido revelastes tanto amor
To the oppressed, you revealed so much love
Ainda que humilhado e ofendido
Even when humiliated and offended
Não te voltastes contra a multidão
You did not turn against the crowd
Fizestes o teu último pedido
You made your final request
Que o Pai lhes concedesse o perdão
That the Father would grant them forgiveness
