English Translation

Um certo dia, a beira mar

One day, by the sea

Apareceu um jovem Galileu

A young Galilean appeared

Ninguém podia imaginar

No one could imagine

Que alguém pudesse amar do jeito que ele amava

That someone could love the way he loved

Seu jeito simples de conversar

His simple way of talking

Tocava o coração de quem o escutava

Touched the hearts of those who listened


E seu nome era Jesus de Nazaré

And his name was Jesus of Nazareth

Sua fama se espalhou e todos vinham ver

His fame spread, and everyone came to see

O fenômeno do jovem pregador

The phenomenon of the young preacher

Que tinha tanto amor

Who had so much love


Naquelas praias, naquele mar

On those beaches, by that sea

Naquele rio, em casa de Zaqueu

By that river, at the house of Zacchaeus

Naquela estrada, naquele sol

On that road, in that sun

E o povo a escutar histórias tão bonitas

And the people listening to such beautiful stories

Seu jeito amigo de se expressar

His friendly way of expressing himself

Enchia o coração de paz tão infinita

Filled the heart with such infinite peace


Em plena rua, naquele chão

In the middle of the street, on that ground

Naquele poço e em casa de Simão

By that well and at Simon's house

Naquela relva, no entardecer

On that grass, in the evening

O mundo viu nascer a paz de uma esperança

The world saw the birth of the peace of hope

Seu jeito puro de perdoar

His pure way of forgiving

Fazia o coração voltar a ser criança

Made the heart become a child again


Um certo dia, ao tribunal

One day, to the court

Alguém levou o jovem Galileu

Someone took the young Galilean

Ninguém sabia qual foi o mal

No one knew what wrong he did

E o crime que ele fez; quais foram seus pecados

And the crime he committed; what were his sins

Seu jeito honesto de denunciar

His honest way of exposing

Mexeu na posição de alguns privilegiados

Disturbed the position of some privileged


E mataram a Jesus de Nazaré

And they killed Jesus of Nazareth

E no meio de ladrões puseram sua cruz

And amidst thieves, they placed his cross

Mas o mundo ainda tem medo de Jesus

But the world still fears Jesus

Que tinha tanto amor

Who had so much love
