Sábado do Meu Senhor

Saturday of My Lord

Sábado do Meu Senhor

1. I like to sing a hymn1. Gosto de cantar um hino
When I feel surrounded by evil,Ao sentir cercar-me o mal,
As I wander like a pilgrimAo vagar qual peregrino
Towards the heavenly home.Para o lar celestial.
But real pleasure in singingMas real prazer no canto
I feel when I give my praise,Sinto ao dar o meu louvor,
When I sing on the holy day,Ao cantar no dia santo,
Saturday of my Lord.Sábado do meu Senhor.

2. What a pleasure to hear the voices,2. Que prazer ouvir as vozes,
Thousands of angelic choirs!Coros mil angelicais!
Visible pains, the most atrocious,Dores vis, as mais atrozes,
Soon I don't feel them anymore.Logo não as sinto mais.
But real pleasure in singingMas real prazer no canto
I feel when I give my praise,Sinto ao dar o meu louvor,
When I sing on the holy day,Ao cantar no dia santo,
Saturday of my Lord.Sábado do meu Senhor.

3. I hear the voice of Nature3. Ouço a voz da Natureza
Praising the Creator;A louvar o Criador;
I think alone, with such beauty,Penso a sós, com tal beleza,
How weak my praise is.Quanto é débil meu louvor.
But real pleasure in singingMas real prazer no canto
I will have in the home of love,Hei de ter no lar de amor,
When praising the holy Master,Ao louvar o Mestre santo,
Great God and Redeemer.Grande Deus e Redentor.
