Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Quando o senhor criou o céu e a terra

When the Lord created the sky and the earth

Ele também criou o reino animal

He also created the animal kingdom

De toda especie que existe nesse mundo

Of every species that exists in this world

Para que fosse fecundo o senhor fez o casal

So that it would be fruitful, the Lord made the couple


Só o homem que vivia sozinho

Only man who lived alone

Sem amor e sem carinho sendo formado do pó

Without love and without affection, formed from the dust

Mas o senhor resolveu mudar o tom

But the Lord decided to change the tone

Dizendo assim não é bom que o homem viva só

Saying, "It is not good for man to live alone"


Do próprio homem ele tirou uma costela

From the man himself, he took a rib

Fez uma mulher tao bela e foi uma maravilha

He made a woman so beautiful, and it was a marvel

E ordenou crescei e multiplicai

And he commanded, "Increase and multiply"

E o homem tornou-se pai, houve a primeira família

And man became a father, the first family came to be


Mas o diabo o inimigo de Deus pra desfazer os planos seus

But the devil, God's enemy, to undo his plans

Querendo manchar seu nome

Wanting to tarnish his name

Desde o dia da cidade de Sodoma

Since the day of the city of Sodom

Resolveu mudar a soma

Decided to change the sum

Casando homem com homem

Marrying man with man


A cada dia multiplica a iniquidade

Every day multiplying iniquity

Sinceramente isso me deixa pensativo

Frankly, this leaves me pensive

Se Deus tivesse feito homem pra casar com outro

If God had made man to marry another man

Não seria Adão e Eva, tinha feito Adão e Ivo

It wouldn't be Adam and Eve; he would have made Adam and Steve
