A Cruz do Salvador Lyrics Translation in English

Cortaram o madeiro,

They cut the timber,

Fizeram uma cruz,

They made a cross,

Para o meu Salvador,

For my Savior,

Madeiro lavrado, com pregos cravados,

Lavishly crafted wood, with driven nails,

Pesado ficou.

It became heavy.

Ele carregou a cruz

He carried the cross,

No caminho caiu,

On the way, He fell,

Mas Deus deu-lhe graça

But God gave Him grace,

Morrendo na cruz, por mim e por ti.

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

Elaborately crafted timber

Com pregos cravados,

With driven nails,

Pesado ficou.

It became heavy.

Perante Pilatos

Before Pilate

Jesus foi levado

Jesus was taken

Como um malfeitor,

Like a criminal,

Chegaram a Ele, olhando o Mestre,

They approached Him, looking at the Master,

Assim perguntou:

Thus He was asked:

"Tu és o rei dos judeus?"

"Are you the king of the Jews?"

Disse Jesus:"Na verdade, Eu sou

Jesus said: "Indeed, I am

O Meu reino é eterno,

My kingdom is eternal,

Não é deste mundo, daqui Eu não sou.

It is not of this world, I am not from here.

Chegando ao calvário, pregaram na cruz o meu Salvador

Arriving at Calvary, they nailed my Savior to the cross

Uma coroa de espinhos na fronte sangrada ao Pai suplicou]

A crown of thorns on the bleeding forehead, He supplicated to the Father]

Transpassado de dor ficou o meu Salvador

Pierced with pain, my Savior remained

Às três horas da tarde, inclinou a cabeça e ali expirou

At three in the afternoon, He bowed His head and there expired.
