Não Quero Te Negar

I Don't Want to Deny You

Não Quero Te Negar

It was the rooster that announced the night, but sadlyFoi o galo que anunciou a noite, mas triste
It was the rooster that crowed, and its song still echoesFoi o galo que cantou, e o seu canto ainda ecoa
In the cold dawn, the soldiers were beating himMadrugada fria os saldados lhe batia
Without fear, without compassionSem temor sem compaixão
They took Jesus away in the dim lightLevaram a Jesus em meio a pouca luz
They were punching and shoving himLhe davam socos e empurrões
And Peter was watching from a distance, seeing Jesus' sufferingE Pedro acompanhava e de longe avistava o sofrimento de Jesus
Not understanding what was happening, Peter criedSem entender o que estava acontecendo Pedro chorava
What he was seeing, the rooster's crow in his mind whipped himO que ele estava vendo o canto do galo em sua mente o açoitava
It seemed to say, didn't I tell you, you denied meParecia lhe dizer não te falei tu me negava
What surprised him most was the gentle look of the master looking at PeterO que mais surpreendeu foi o olhar meigo mestre olhando Pedro
Maybe he wanted to say, I still love youQuem sabe ele queria lhe dizer eu ainda te amo
I love you, what's done is doneEu te amo o que passou, passou

Peter turned his back and leftPedro virando a costas saiu
He went to bitterly cry over what he sawFoi chorar amargamente o que ele viu
He denied Jesus, and the rooster's song followed himA Jesus ele negou e a música do galo o acompanhou

I don't want to deny you, LordEu não quero te negar Senhor
But at the same time, I’m flawedMas ao mesmo tempo falho sou
I don’t want to be broken caneNão quero ser cana quebrada
But a rock, solid and strongMas uma rocha bem firmada
In your presence, I want to beNa tua presença eu quero ser

I don't want to deny you, LordEu não quero te negar Senhor
But at the same time, I’m flawedMas ao mesmo tempo falho sou
I want to be in your presenceQuero está em tua presença
I’ll make a differenceVou fazer a diferença
I promise I won’t deny youPrometo não vou te negar
