Sequência de Páscoa (Cantai, Cristãos, Afinal) Lyrics Translation in English
Marcus Vinícius Lima
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Cantai, cristãos, afinal
Sing, Christians, at last
Salve, ó vítima pascal
Hail, O Paschal Victim
Cordeiro inocente, o Cristo
Innocent Lamb, the Christ
Abriu-nos do Pai o aprisco
Opened to us the Father's fold
Por toda ovelha imolado
For every sheep sacrificed
Do mundo lava o pecado
Washes away the world's sin
Duelam forte e mais forte
Let them duel, stronger and stronger
É a vida que enfrenta a morte
It is life confronting death
O Rei da vida, cativo
The King of life, captive
É morto, mas reina vivo
Is dead, yet reigns alive
Responde pois, ó Maria
Answer then, O Mary
No teu caminho o que havia?
On your path, what was there?
Vi Cristo ressuscitado
I saw Christ resurrected
O túmulo abandonado
The abandoned tomb
Os anjos da cor do Sol
The angels the color of the sun
Dobrado ao chão o lençol
The linen cloth folded to the ground
O Cristo, que leva aos céus
Christ, who leads to the heavens
Caminha à frente dos Seus
Walks ahead of His own
Ressuscitou de verdade
Truly resurrected
Ó Rei, ó Cristo, piedade
O King, O Christ, have mercy
Ressuscitou de verdade
Truly resurrected
Ó Rei, ó Cristo, piedade
O King, O Christ, have mercy
