Madeiro Lavrado Lyrics Translation in English

Cortaram um madeiro, fizeram uma cruz, para o meu Salvador

They cut a log, made a cross, for my Savior

Madeiro lavrado, com pregos cravados, pesada ficou

Lavishly crafted timber, with nails driven in, it became heavy

Ele carregou a cruz, no caminho caiu

He carried the cross, stumbled on the way

Mas Deus deu-lhe graça, morrendo na cruz por mim e por ti

But God granted him grace, dying on the cross for me and for you

Foi feita assim

It was made like this

A cruz do Salvador

The Savior's cross

Madeiro lavrado

Lavishly crafted timber

Com pregos cravados, pesada ficou

With nails driven in, it became heavy

Perante Pilatos, Jesus foi levado como um malfeitor

Before Pilate, Jesus was brought as a criminal

Chegando a ele, olhando ao Mestre assim perguntou

Approaching him, looking at the Master, he asked

És o Rei dos judeus, disse Jesus na verdade Eu Sou

Are you the King of the Jews, Jesus said, in truth I am

O Meu Reino é eterno, não é deste mundo, daqui Eu não Sou

My Kingdom is eternal, not of this world, I am not from here

Foi feita assim

It was made like this

A cruz do Salvador

The Savior's cross

Madeiro lavrado

Lavishly crafted timber

Com pregos cravados, pesada ficou

With nails driven in, it became heavy

Chegando ao Calvário, pregaram na cruz o meu Salvador

Arriving at Calvary, they nailed my Savior to the cross

A coroa de espinhos, com a fronte sangrando ao Pai suplicou

The crown of thorns, with the forehead bleeding, he pleaded to the Father

Transpassado de dor ficou, o meu Salvador

Pierced with pain, my Savior

As três horas da tarde inclinou a cabeça e ali expirou

At three in the afternoon, he bowed his head and breathed his last
