English Translation

Eram cem ovelhas juntas no aprisco

There were a hundred sheep together in the fold

Eram cem ovelhas que o pastor cuidou

There were a hundred sheep that the shepherd cared for

Porém numa tarde ao contá-las todas

But one afternoon, counting them all

Lhe faltava uma lhe faltava uma

He was missing one, he was missing one

E triste chorou

And sadly, he cried


As noventa e nove deixou no aprisco

He left the ninety-nine in the fold

E pelas montanhas a buscá-la foi

And through the mountains, he went to find her

A encontrou gemendo tremendo de frio

He found her moaning, trembling with cold

Curou suas feridas colocou-a em seus ombros

He healed her wounds, placed her on his shoulders

E ao redil voltou

And returned to the sheepfold


Essa mesma história torna a repetir-se

This same story repeats itself

Pois muitas ovelhas perdidas estão

For many lost sheep are

Mas ainda hoje o pastor amado

But even today, the beloved shepherd

Cura suas feridas cura suas feridas

Heals their wounds, heals their wounds

E lhes dá perdão

And grants them forgiveness


As noventa e nove deixou no aprisco

He left the ninety-nine in the fold

E pelas montanhas a buscá-la foi

And through the mountains, he went to find her

A encontrou gemendo tremendo de frio

He found her moaning, trembling with cold

Curou suas feridas colocou-a em seus ombros

He healed her wounds, placed her on his shoulders

E ao redil voltou

And returned to the sheepfold
