Eram Cem Ovelhas Lyrics Translation in English
Osias FerreiraPortuguese Lyrics
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
