O Galileu Lyrics Translation in English

Lá na Galileia

There in Galilee

Bem longe daqui

Far away from here

Um dia ecoou a voz do galileu

One day echoed the voice of the Galilean

Foi ele mandado para aquele povo

He was sent to that people

E o povo rebelde não o recebeu

And the rebellious people did not receive him

Deste galileu tão humilde e manso

Of this humble and gentle Galilean

O profeta Isaías bem antes falou

The prophet Isaiah spoke long before

Que ele viria trazer boas novas

That he would come to bring good news

Mais a sua pátria não o aceitou

But his homeland did not accept him

Santo galileu

Holy Galilean

Divino Jesus

Divine Jesus

Tua voz ouvi

I heard your voice

E te recebi

And received you

Hoje tenho luz

Today I have light

Este galileu veio evangelizar

This Galilean came to evangelize

E anunciar o tempo da salvação

And announce the time of salvation

Ele veio dar visão para os cegos

He came to give sight to the blind

E para os cativos a libertação

And liberation to the captives

Que era o messias não acreditaram

They did not believe he was the Messiah

Por que era pobre e trabalhador

Because he was poor and a worker

Não teve um lar para seu repouso

He had no home for his rest

Mais da humanidade foi o redentor

But he was the redeemer of humanity
