A Ovelha Perdida

The Lost Sheep

A Ovelha Perdida

Ninety-nine sheep are on their wayNoventa e nove ovelhas vão
Safe to the penSeguras ao curral
But one of them strayed awayMas uma delas se afastou
From the pastoral denDo aprisco pastoral
Wandering in the mountains of fearA errar nos montes de terror
Far from the faithful shepherdDistante do fiel pastor
Far from the faithful shepherdDistante do fiel pastor

With the submissive flock, oh good ShepherdCom a grei submissa, ó bom Pastor
Won't you be satisfied?Não te contentarás?
The lost one is mine, he repliedA errante é minha, replicou
She belongs to my sidePertence-me a fugaz
I’ll go to the desert to findVou ao deserto procurar
The sheep I hear crying in painA ovelha que ouço em dor gritar
The sheep I hear crying in painA ovelha que ouço em dor gritar

No redeemed soul could have guessedNenhum remido imaginou
How dark the night could beQuão negra escuridão
How deep the waters she crossedQuão fundas águas que passou
Bringing her to safetyTrazendo-a à salvação
And when he went to rescueE quando foi pra socorrer
The lost one was perishingA errante estava a perecer
The lost one was perishingA errante estava a perecer

All along the road where she camePor toda a estrada donde vem
What blood do I see there?Que sangue enxergo ali?
I searched for the sheep with loveBusquei a ovelha com amor
My blood I did shareO sangue meu verti
I see your hand is woundedFerida vejo a tua mão
Anguish filled up my heartA angústia encheu-me o coração
Anguish filled up my heartA angustia encheu-me o coração

From the mountain come the cries!Vêm da montanha aclamações!
It's the voice of the good Shepherd!É a voz do bom Pastor!
Ringing in triumphant notesRessoa em notas triunfais
The victorious psalm!O salmo vencedor!
And the angels sing up in the skiesE os anjos cantam lá nos céus
The lost one has returned to GodA errante já voltou a Deus
The lost one has returned to GodA errante já voltou a Deus
