English Translation

Eu queria saber, do próprio lenhador

I wanted to know, from the lumberjack himself

Que madeira ele usou, para fazer a cruz?

What wood did he use to make the cross?

Embora eu sinta que a árvore

Although I feel that the tree

Chorou quando caiu no chão

Cried when it fell to the ground

E o machado que a lavrou

And the axe that hewed it

Quebrou-se de tanta emoção

Broked from so much emotion


A cruz, foi a mais pesada

The cross was the heaviest

Por fora só viram madeira

On the outside, they only saw wood

Mas por dentro estava os meus pecados

But inside were my sins

Por fora só viram madeira

On the outside, they only saw wood

Mas por dentro estava os meus pecados

But inside were my sins


Eu queria saber, o que o carrasco sentiu

I wanted to know what the executioner felt

Quando a Jesus feriu, com quarenta açoites

When he struck Jesus with forty lashes

Fazendo tantos vergões, naquele que só fez o bem?

Creating so many welts on the one who only did good?

Quem sabe o carrasco sentiu

Who knows if the executioner felt

A dor dos açoites também?

The pain of the lashes too?


A cruz, foi a mais pesada

The cross was the heaviest

Por fora só viram madeira

On the outside, they only saw wood

Mas por dentro estava os meus pecados

But inside were my sins

Por fora só viram madeira

On the outside, they only saw wood

Mas por dentro estava os meus pecados

But inside were my sins


Eu queria saber porque a terra tremeu

I wanted to know why the earth trembled

O Sol se recolheu, e a noite chegou

The sun withdrew, and night came

Se foi protesto ao crime do autor da criação?

If it was a protest against the crime of the creator?

Mostraram ter mais sentimentos

They showed they had more feelings

Provaram ter mais coração

They proved they had more heart


A cruz, foi a mais pesada

The cross was the heaviest

Por fora só viram madeira

On the outside, they only saw wood

Mas por dentro estava os meus pecados

But inside were my sins

Por fora só viram madeira

On the outside, they only saw wood

Mas por dentro estava os meus pecados

But inside were my sins


Por fora só viram madeira

On the outside, they only saw wood

Mas por dentro estava os meus pecados

But inside were my sins
