Nova Luz Lyrics Translation in English

A Palavra de Deus já chegou!

The Word of God has already arrived!

Nova luz clareou para o povo

New light has shone for the people

Quando a Bíblia Sagrada se abriu

When the Holy Bible opened

Todo pobre já viu mundo novo!

Every poor person has seen a new world!

Quem andava espalhado se juntou

Those who were scattered came together

Quem vivia como cego enxergou

Those who lived as blind could see

Por todo canto já nasceu comunidade

Everywhere communities have been born

E no caminho da verdade

And on the path of truth

Muita gente já entrou

Many people have entered

Quem vivia explorado protestou

Those who were exploited protested

Quem calava só por medo já gritou

Those who were silent only out of fear have shouted

Por todo canto os pequenos vão se unindo

Everywhere the humble are coming together

A liberdade vai surgindo

Freedom is emerging

E todo velho renovou

And every old person has been renewed

A semente da Palavra se espalhou

The seed of the Word has spread

Caiu no campo-coração-de-lavrador

Fell into the field-heart-of-a-farmer

Pela favela a semente germinou

In the slum, the seed has sprouted

E na colheita

And in the harvest

Vai ter festa, meu Senhor!

There will be a celebration, my Lord!
