A Sementinha

The Little Seed

A Sementinha

The sower went out to sowO semeador saiu a semear
He tossed the little seed to cultivate the groundLançou a sementinha para a terra cultivar
Some of the seeds fell along the wayUm pouco da semente caiu pelo caminho
The little birds came, started to peck aroundVieram os passarinhos, começaram a ciscar

Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, little bird!Xô, xô, xô, xô, xô, passarinho!
Leave the little seed for the ground to cultivateDeixa a sementinha para a terra cultivar
Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, little bird!Xô, xô, xô, xô, xô, passarinho!
Leave the little seed for the ground to cultivateDeixa a sementinha para a terra cultivar

A bunch of seeds fell among the stonesUm tanto de sementes caiu entre as pedrinhas
They got so weak and died in the heatFicaram tão fraquinhas e morreram no calor
Another part fell among the thornsUma outra parte caiu entre os espinhos
And they were choked, pricked, what a treat!E foram sufocadas, espetadas, que horror!

Phew, phew, phew! What a scorching sun!Ufa, ufa, ufa! Que Sol escaldante!
It was him who dried up my little seedA minha sementinha foi ele quem secou
Phew, phew, phew! What a pesky thorn!Ufa, ufa, ufa! Que espinho petulante!
My little seed got pricked and choked indeedA minha sementinha espetou e sufocou

Then, the sower threw it in good soilEntão, o semeador lançou em boa terra
And finally, the little seed managed to bear fruitE, enfim, a sementinha conseguiu frutificar
After multiplying, forming an orchardDepois multiplicou, formando um pomar
And the Sower, then, could rejoice in pursuitE o Semeador, então, pôde se alegrar

Thump, thump, thump, his little heartTum, tum, tum, o seu coraçãozinho
It's the good soil for the seed to bloomÉ a boa terra pra semente florescer
Thump, thump, thump, Jesus sows the seedTum, tum, tum, Jesus lança a semente
But it only bears fruit if you truly believeMas só frutifica se de fato você crer
