Quando Virá Senhor

When Will You Come, Lord

Quando Virá Senhor

When will it come, Lord, the dayQuando virá, Senhor, o dia
When the Savior appearsEm que apareça o Salvador
And the prophecy is fulfilledE se efetue a profecia
Was born in the world the Redeemer?Nasceu no mundo o Redentor?

Dew from above, oh heavensOrvalhai lá do alto, ó céus
And let the clouds rain the just!E as nuvens chovam o justo!

That promised dayAquele dia prometido
The ancient faith of our fathersA antiga fé de nossos pais
Day when evil will be banishedDia em que o mal será banido
Turning our 'woes' into laughter!Mudando em risos nossos “ais”!

Dew from above, oh heavensOrvalhai lá do alto, ó céus
And let the clouds rain the just!E as nuvens chovam o justo!

When will we see him happyQuando felizes o veremos
Rising in the firmamentNo firmamento despontar
And spreading supreme lightE a espargir clarões supremos
Dispersing the darkness from the earth?Da terra as trevas dispersar?

Dew from above, oh heavensOrvalhai lá do alto, ó céus
And let the clouds rain the just!E as nuvens chovam o justo!

Daughter of kings, oh pure virginFilha de reis, ó virgem pura
Leave the modest positionSai da modesta posição
In you, although a creatureEm ti, embora criatura
Of God, the incarnation was made!De Deus, se fez a encarnação!

Dew from above, oh heavensOrvalhai lá do alto, ó céus
And let the clouds rain the just!E as nuvens chovam o justo!
