Barrabás

Barrabas

Barrabás

In the depths of a cold cellNo fundo de uma cela fria
It was me and lonelinessEstava eu e a solidão
Joy had gone awayA alegria tinha ido embora
I awaited the hour of executionEu esperava a hora da execução
Tears wetting my faceO pranto molhando o meu rosto
And reviewing my sinsE eu revendo os meus pecados
I saw myself in a dead endMe vi num beco sem saída
For throughout life I did everything wrongPois durante a vida eu fiz tudo errado
Suffering there in despairEu sofrendo ali desesperado
A soldier arrived, removed the chains, and said to me:Chegou um soldado, tirou as correntes, e falou pra mim:
You will escape deathVocê vai se livrar da morte
It's your lucky day, you can goÉ seu dia de sorte, você pode ir.
And he said go in peaceE ele disse vá em paz,
You have no reason to stayVocê não tem mais nenhum motivo pra ficar
Another person will die in your placeOutra pessoa vai morrer em seu lugar

I was a criminal and he was without sinEu era um criminoso e ele era sem pecado
I was being released and he was being condemnedEu estava sendo solto e ele sendo condenado
I was malice and he was without maliceEu era a malícia e ele era sem maldade
I was the lie and he was the truthEu era a mentira e ele era a verdade
I was in full war and he brought me peaceEu estava em plena guerra e ele trouxe-me a paz
He was Jesus Christ and I was Barrabas...Ele era Jesus Cristo e eu era Barrabás...
