O Retorno

The Return

O Retorno

In the scraps that I ateNos restos que comi
I remembered where I came fromLembrei-me de onde vim
I had everything thereEu tinha tudo lá
In my father's houseNa casa do meu pai

Tired of servingCansado de servir
I gathered my things andJuntei minhas coisas e
Claimed my portionClamei minha porção
From the trunk I cut the branchDo tronco o galho eu cortei

I stole from my father, in my eagerness to be free I imprisoned myselfEu roubei do meu pai, no afã de ser livre me prendi
Slave to my desires, seeking pleasure I ate with pigsEscravo do meu querer, buscando o prazer com porcos eu comi

I squandered in the worldNo mundo esbanjei
Host, I was kingAnfitrião, fui rei
I bought vain delightsComprei deleites vãos
But in emptiness I found myselfMas num vazio me encontrei

I wanted to return, woke up far awayQueria retornar, distante despertei
If I see him I will begSe o vejo implorarei
Among his servants, I will be the leastDos servos seus, menor serei

I stole from my father, in my eagerness to be free I imprisoned myselfEu roubei do meu pai, no afã de ser livre me prendi
Slave to my desires, seeking pleasure I ate with pigsEscravo do meu querer, buscando o prazer com porcos eu comi

Returning, I saw himVoltando o avistei
Running, he embraced meCorrendo me abraçou
He remembered nothingDe nada se lembrou
Except his eternal loveAlém do seu eterno amor

He didn't let me speakFalar nem me deixou
Urgent to celebrateUrgente em celebrar
My son who diedMeu filho que morreu
Was found now, aliveAchado foi agora, vivo está

I see the price my father paid for me to be hereVejo o preço que meu pai pagou p‘ra eu estar aqui
He gave me clothes to celebrate and made a covenantMe deu roupas para festejar e fez aliança
Grace, love, justice, and redemptionGraça, amor, justiça e redenção
What a banquet he prepared for meQue banquete preparou pra mim

I returned to my father, serving in his house I am freeEu voltei pro meu pai, servindo em sua casa eu sou livre
