O Galileu

The Galilean

O Galileu

Way out in Galilee, far from hereLá na Galileia, bem longe daqui
One day the voice of the Galilean rang outUm dia ecoou a voz do Galileu
He was sent to that peopleFoi ele mandado para aquele povo
But the rebellious crowd didn’t welcome himE o povo rebelde não o recebeu

This humble and gentle GalileanDeste Galileu tão humilde e manso
The prophet Isaiah spoke of him long beforeProfeta Isaías bem antes falou
That he would come to bring good newsQue ele viria trazer boas novas
But his own hometown didn’t accept himMas a sua pátria não o aceitou

Holy GalileanSanto Galileu
Divine JesusDivino Jesus
I heard your voice and I welcomed youTua voz ouvi e te recebi
Now I have the lightHoje tenho luz

This Galilean came to spread the wordEste Galileu veio evangelizar
And announce the time of salvationE anunciar o tempo da salvação
He came to give sight to the blindEle veio dar visão para os cegos
And freedom to those held captiveE para os cativos a libertação

They didn’t believe he was the MessiahQue era o Messias não acreditaram
Because he was poor and worked with his handsPorque era pobre e trabalhador
He had no home to rest his headNão teve um lar para seu repouso
But for humanity, he was the RedeemerMas da humanidade foi o Redentor

Holy GalileanSanto Galileu
Divine JesusDivino Jesus
I heard your voice and I welcomed youTua voz ouvi e te recebi
Now I have the lightHoje tenho luz
