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

Amastes sem reserva o mundo inteiro

You loved the entire world without reservation

Amastes criaturas sem valor

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
