As Dez Virgens

The Ten Virgins

As Dez Virgens

There were ten virgins, five were wild and five were wiseEram dez virgens, cinco loucas e cinco prudentes
They went to meet the groomForam encontrar o esposo
The wild virgins didn’t bring extra oilAs virgens loucas não levaram o azeite de reserva
To find the bridegroomPara encontrar o noivo
And while the groom was delayed, they fell into a deep sleepE tardando o noivo adormeceram de um sono profundo
But at midnight, a voice shouted outMas à meia noite, uma voz bradou assim
Get ready, oh! Ten virgins, the groom is coming now!Se preparem, oh! Dez virgens que o noivo já está vindo aí!
The wise ones got up and lit their lampsAs prudentes levantaram acenderam as lamparinas
The wild ones worried, they had no oil leftAs loucas preocupadas o azeite já não tinham
Give us some of your oilDai-nos um pouco do vosso azeite
Our lamps have gone outNossas lâmpadas apagaram
The wise ones repliedAs prudentes responderam
If we give, there won’t be enoughSe a gente der irá faltar
Run to the market, you can buy some thereVão correndo ao mercado vocês poderão comprar
They bought the oil and hurried to knock on the doorElas compraram o azeite e apressadas foram bater na porta
But the door was shut and the groom said to themMas a porta se fechou e o noivo lhes falou
You can’t enter my party!Na minha festa vocês não podem entrar!

So it will be with the return of the Son of GodAssim será a volta do Filho de Deus
Just like the ten virgins, it will happenComo as dez virgens, assim acontecerá
Five went up and five stayed behindCinco subiram e cinco ficaram
Whoever doesn’t have a reserve in heaven won’t get inQuem não tiver reserva no céu não vai entrar

The difference between the virgins that existedA diferença das virgens que existiam
Wasn’t the clothes, nor the lampNão era a roupa, nem tão pouco a lamparina
It wasn’t the oil because they all had someNão era azeite porque todas possuíam
But it was the reserve, five had it and five didn’tMas era a reserva cinco tinham e cinco não tinham

Set aside some time, my brother, for prayerReserve um tempo meu irmão pra oração
Set aside some time for consecrationReserve um tempo para a consagração
Set aside some time to praise and worshipReserve um tempo pra louvar e adorar
Don’t let the Spirit’s lamp go outNão deixe a lâmpada do Espírito apagar
Because the rapture will happen very soonPorque o arrebatamento muito em breve acontecerá
