Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Sempre que eu leio a história de Cristo

Whenever I read the story of Christ

Eu fico a pensar com grande emoção

I think with great emotion

No privilegio que muitos tiveram

Of the privilege that many had

De ver seu rosto, sentir sua mão

To see His face, feel His hand


Eu também queria a mesma alegria

I also wanted the same joy

De tê-lo bem perto, bem juntinho a mim

To have Him very close, very close to me

De olhar os seus olhos serenos e meigos

To look into His calm and gentle eyes

E como eu seria tão feliz assim

And how happy I would be like that


Queria saber como era seu rosto

I wanted to know what His face was like

Embora eu sinta que era mui lindo

Although I feel it was very beautiful

Inspirava fé e também confiança

It inspired faith and also confidence

E dava a todos um gozo infindo

And gave everyone endless joy


E ao ver as gravuras nos quadros pintadas

And seeing the pictures painted on canvases

Daquele que dizem ser o meu senhor

Of Him they say is my Lord

Meu ser não aceita o que está na tela

My being does not accept what is on the canvas

É falsa a inspiração do pintor

The painter's inspiration is false


Não creio, não creio, num Cristo vencido

I don't believe, I don't believe, in a defeated Christ

Cheio de amargura, semblante de dor

Full of bitterness, a face of pain

Eu creio num Cristo de rosto alegre

I believe in a Christ with a joyful face

Pois creio num Cristo que é vencedor

For I believe in a Christ who is victorious


E um dia também o verei face a face

And one day I will also see Him face to face

E assim eu creio pela minha fé

And so I believe through my faith

Oh aleluia!

Oh, hallelujah!

Verei o seu rosto

I will see His face

Verei a Jesus como Ele é

I will see Jesus as He is
