O Filho Pródigo Lyrics Translation in English

O mestre veio e anunciou parábolas pro povo ouvir e relatou

The master came and announced parables for the people to hear and narrated

A história de um pai cheio de amor

The story of a father full of love

Dois filhos bons um lar feliz

Two good sons, a happy home

Viviam em paz até que o mais jovem

They lived in peace until the youngest

Pediu-lhe a herança e partiu

Asked for his inheritance and left

Rumou pra longe e, entre deleites seus bens desperdiçou

He went far away and, among his delights, wasted his possessions

Desamparado sentindo fome, do lar se recordou

Abandoned, feeling hungry, he remembered home

Na casa do pai há pão sobrando e eu pereço de dor

In my father's house, there is plenty of bread, and I perish in pain

Levantar-me-ei e irei ter com meu pai

I will arise and go to my father

E dir-lhe-ei: Eu pequei contra ti

And I will say to him: I have sinned against you

Levantar-me-ei e a ele pedirei

I will arise and ask him

Faz-me um servo de ti

Make me a servant of yours

O jovem pôs-se a caminhar e ainda distante do seu lar

The young man started walking, still far from his home

O pai avistou, cansado e triste a retornar

The father saw him, tired and sad, returning

Cheio de amor e compaixão, correu ao filho e o beijou

Full of love and compassion, he ran to his son and kissed him

Jubilante saiu feliz a festejar

Jubilant, he went out happily to celebrate

Novas alparcas, vestes e anéis, lhe ofereceu

New sandals, clothes, and rings, he offered him

E jubilante, exclamou: Meu filho renasceu!

And jubilantly exclaimed: My son is reborn!

Estava perdido, mas foi achado, meu filho renasceu!

He was lost, but now he is found, my son is reborn!

Levantar-me-ei e irei ter com meu pai

I will arise and go to my father

E dir-lhe-ei: Eu pequei contra ti

And I will say to him: I have sinned against you

Levantar-me-ei e a ele pedirei

I will arise and ask him

Faz-me um servo, um servo de ti

Make me a servant, a servant of yours
