Tanque de Siloé Lyrics Translation in English

Estava a beira do caminho

I was by the side of the road

Acostumado a estar sozinho, a mendigar o pão

Accustomed to being alone, begging for bread

Minha vida era assim

That was how my life was

Desde quando eu nasci, só via escuridão

Since when I was born, I only saw darkness

Até que ali Jesus passou

Until Jesus passed by

Com Lodo os meus olhos untou

Anointed my eyes with mud

E mandou eu me lavar

And told me to wash

Foi difícil eu ir até

It was difficult for me to go to

O Tanque de Siloé

The Pool of Siloam

Mas eu obedeci

But I obeyed

Abra os meus olhos Oh! Deus

Open my eyes, Oh! God

Eu quero ver tua glória

I want to see your glory

Muito tempo eu perdi

I lost a lot of time

Mas eu hoje estou aqui

But today I am here

Muda minha história

Change my story
