A Cruz do Meio

The Cross in the Middle

A Cruz do Meio

A cross, the blood running on the groundUma cruz, o sangue que corria pelo chão
A sad cry in the midst of the crowdUm choro triste em meio a multidão
From a motherDe uma mãe
Who was in despairQue se desesperava

A pain that someone who didn’t deserve had to feelUma dor que quem não merecia teve que sentir
Someone who shouldn’t have paid paid for meAlguém que não devia mais pagou por mim
Loved too muchAmou de mais
Even those who didn’t love himAté quem não lhe amava

He didn’t condemn meEle não me condenou
Nor did he judge meNem tão pouco me julgou
He just wanted to forgive meMais só quis me perdoar
I was the one who owedQuem devia era eu
But it was the Son of God who had to payMais foi o filho de Deus quem teve que pagar

What kind of love is thisQue amor é esse que
That I had never felt beforeEu nunca tinha sentido
He cared for meEle se importou comigo
Even though I was so wrongMesmo eu sendo tão errado

What kind of love is thisQue amor é esse que
That even the cross couldn’t killNem mesmo a cruz matou
Even there he loved meMesmo ali ele me amou
Forgave my sinsPerdoou os meus pecados

He there on the cross in the middleEle ali na cruz do meio
And I there on the cross besideE eu ali na cruz do lado
He owed nothingEle não devia nada
But I was condemnedMais eu era condenado

He there on the cross in the middleEle ali na cruz do meio
And I just a sinnerE eu apenas pecador
Even so, he spoke to meMesmo assim falou comigo
I’ll change your fate and take you to paradiseVou mudar o teu destino e levar-te ao paraíso

He didn’t condemn meEle não me condenou
Nor did he judge meNem tão pouco me julgou
He just wanted to forgive meMais só quis me perdoar
I was the one who owedQuem devia era eu
But it was the Son of God who had to payMais foi o filho de Deus quem teve que pagar

What kind of love is thisQue amor é esse que
That I had never felt beforeEu nunca tinha sentido
He cared for meEle se importou comigo
Even though I was so wrongMesmo eu sendo tão errado

What kind of love is thisQue amor é esse que
That even the cross couldn’t killNem mesmo a cruz matou
Even there he loved meMesmo ali ele me amou
Forgave my sinsPerdoou os meus pecados

He there on the cross in the middleEle ali na cruz do meio
And I there on the cross besideE eu ali na cruz do lado
He owed nothingEle não devia nada
But I was condemnedMais eu era condenado

He there on the cross in the middleEle ali na cruz do meio
And I just a sinnerE eu apenas pecador
Even so, he spoke to meMesmo assim falou comigo
I’ll change your fate and take you to paradiseVou mudar o teu destino e levar-te ao paraíso

He there on the cross in the middleEle ali na cruz do meio
And I there on the cross besideE eu ali na cruz do lado
He owed nothingEle não devia nada
But I was condemnedMais eu era condenado

He there on the cross in the middleEle ali na cruz do meio
