Ergue-se a Cruz Lyrics Translation in English
Shirley CarvalhaesPortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Nas ruas de Jerusalém, caminhava meu Salvador
In the streets of Jerusalem, my Savior walked
Carregando uma cruz pesada, sentindo grande dor
Carrying a heavy cross, feeling great pain
E toda multidão gritava: Crucifiquem este malfeitor!
And the whole crowd shouted: Crucify this evildoer!
Não sabiam que estavam matando o seu Criador
They didn't know they were killing their Creator
E caiu meu Mestre com a pesada cruz
And my Master fell with the heavy cross
E o som, do chicote, do carrasco se ouvia
And the sound of the whip, of the executioner, was heard
E seguiu Jesus, e seguiu Jesus
And Jesus followed, and Jesus followed
Para o monte onde iria morrer por mim
To the mountain where He would die for me
E a coroa de espinhos Sua fronte feria
And the crown of thorns wounded His forehead
E o sangue precioso escorria, em Sua face de luz
And the precious blood flowed on His face of light
Carregava em Seus ombros o peso dos pecados meus
He carried on His shoulders the weight of my sins
E foi Jesus, morrer por mim
And Jesus went to die for me
Então ergue-se a cruz, nela o meu Salvador
Then the cross is raised, on it my Savior
Uma brisa soprou, trazendo a dor e a solidão do mundo
A breeze blew, bringing the pain and loneliness of the world
E Jesus expirou, morreu a esperança
And Jesus expired, hope died
A luz do céu apagou, a Terra tremeu
The light of heaven went out, the Earth trembled
Jesus Cristo morreu
Jesus Christ died
E agora, a luz do mundo, não brilha mais
And now, the light of the world, no longer shines
A esperança, de salvação, morreu na cruz
The hope of salvation died on the cross
E a dor, da solidão aperta a alma
And the pain of loneliness squeezes the soul
Mas o Seu grande amor por mim o fez voltar
But His great love for me made Him return
Jesus ressuscitou, coberto de glória
Jesus resurrected, covered in glory
Garantindo pra sempre, sempre, a minha vitória
Ensuring forever, forever, my victory
Cristo vive, ressuscitou
Christ lives, He has risen
Cristo vive, Ele é o Senhor
Christ lives, He is the Lord
Cristo vive, Ele vive, ressuscitou
Christ lives, He lives, He has risen
