Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Que miserável homem que sou, que me tornei

What a wretched man I am, what I have become

Mendigo o pão que antes sobrava e que era meu

Begging for the bread that once was abundant and was mine

No desapontamento a esperança nasce

In disappointment, hope is born

E vivo o presente independentemente do que passou

And I live the present regardless of what has passed


Pois se tudo mudou

For if everything has changed

E em Cristo eu sou mais do que sou

And in Christ, I am more than I am

Pra trás eu deixo o homem que fui

Behind, I leave the man I was

E as casas que eu construí longe de Ti

And the houses I built far from You

Se tudo mudou eu abro as velas da embarcação

If everything has changed, I open the sails of the ship

Na esperança que pela manhã

In the hope that in the morning

Avistarei o porto onde te encontrarei

I will see the harbor where I will find You


Como um refugiado deixando seu país

Like a refugee leaving his country

Fugindo pela noite sem conseguir dormir

Fleeing through the night unable to sleep

Confiando na promessa que o pranto toma a noite

Trusting in the promise that tears take the night

Mas logo vem o dia, e gritos de alegria ecoarão!

But soon comes the day, and shouts of joy will echo!


Se a chuva me alcançar e o barco revirar

If the rain catches me and the boat overturns

Que eu acorde em terra firme lá

May I wake up on solid ground there
