Jesus of Nazareth

Gerson Rufino

Jesus Nazareno

Jesus Nazareno
Pregado na cruz
Coberto de sangue
Seu rosto ficou
Seu rosto cetrino
Qual anjo divino
Coroa de espinho
O povo lhe deu

Eloí, eloí
Lama sabactani
Clamava ao Pai
O divino Jesus
O bom Redentor
De novo clamou
Sem forças porém
O Mestre expirou

Não se maldizia
Da ingratidão
Que o povo fizera
Sem ter compaixão
Lhe deram vinagre
Jesus recusou
Sentindo agonia
Da morte e da dor

Eloí, eloí
Lama sabactani
Clamava ao Pai
O divino Jesus
O bom Redentor
De novo clamou
Sem forças porém
O Mestre expirou

A luz se fez trevas
A terra tremeu
Morrendo na cruz
O Filho de Deus
Rasgou-se o véu
Da separação
Nos dando a graça
A paz e o perdão

Eloí, Eloí
Lama sabactani
Clamava ao Pai
O divino Jesus
O bom Redentor
De novo clamou
Sem forças porém
O Mestre expirou

Jesus of Nazareth

Jesus of Nazareth
Nailed to the cross
Covered in blood
His face became
His face pale
Like a divine angel
A crown of thorns
The people gave him

Eloi, Eloi
Lama sabachthani
Cried out to the Father
The divine Jesus
The good Redeemer
Called out again
Without strength, though
The Master breathed his last

He didn't curse
The ingratitude
That the people showed
Without any compassion
They gave him vinegar
Jesus turned it down
Feeling agony
Of death and pain

Eloi, Eloi
Lama sabachthani
Cried out to the Father
The divine Jesus
The good Redeemer
Called out again
Without strength, though
The Master breathed his last

The light turned to darkness
The earth shook
Dying on the cross
The Son of God
The veil was torn
Of separation
Granting us grace
Peace and forgiveness

Eloi, Eloi
Lama sabachthani
Cried out to the Father
The divine Jesus
The good Redeemer
Called out again
Without strength, though
The Master breathed his last
