O Semeador e o Ceifeiro

The Sower and the Reaper

O Semeador e o Ceifeiro

I sowed the seed, yes in the springSemeei a semente, sim na primavera
I watered it with tears, weeping and painReguei-a com lágrima, choro e dor
But another may reap the fruitsMas outro talvez ceifará os frutos
Bringing joy to the LordTrazendo com gozo ao Senhor

Time after time, my soul feelsVez após vezes, a minha alma sente
Anguish and the tears of the sowerAngústia e o choro do semeador
But those who sow as well as those who reapMas o que semeia tanto quanto o que ceifa
Will be rewarded by the hands of the LordTerão recompensa das mãos do Senhor

The reaper gathers the fruits with joyO ceifeiro recolhe com gozo os frutos
Not always knowing the pain it costNem sempre sabendo a dor que custou
For those who worked so hard, in sun or rainPara quem trabalhou tanto, com sol ou chuva
And with patience planted the seedE com paciência a semente plantou

Time after time, my soul feelsVez após vezes, a minha alma sente
Anguish and tears of the sowerAngústia e choro do semeador
But those who sow as well as those who reapMas o que semeia quanto o que ceifa
Will be rewarded by the hands of the LordTerão recompensa das mãos do Senhor

Time after time, my soul feelsVez após vezes, a minha alma sente
Anguish and tears of the sowerAngústia e choro do semeador
But those who sow as well as those who reapMas o que semeia tanto o que ceifa
Will be rewarded by the hands of the LordTerão recompensa das mãos do Senhor
