O Castigo Lyrics Translation in English

Contemplo, Jesus carregando a cruz

I contemplate, Jesus carrying the cross

Seu corpo cansado está a caminhar

His tired body is walking

Levando sobre seus ombros um grande madeiro

Bearing on his shoulders a large piece of wood

Sem reclamar

Without complaining

Qual foi o erro que cometeu

What mistake did he make

Eu quero saber aonde ele errou

I want to know where he went wrong

Somente de paz e amor falou que coisas tão lindas

He spoke only of peace and love, such beautiful things

Ele nos ensinou

He taught us

O castigo que nos traz a paz estava em seus ombros

The punishment that brings us peace was on his shoulders

Toda dor que sentiu foi por nos amar

Every pain he felt was because he loved us

Cada lágrima que ele chorou tem o seu valor

Every tear he shed has its value

Que nem mesmos as riquezas do mundo podem pagar

That not even the riches of the world can repay
