Violão de Rei

King's Guitar

Violão de Rei

Then, one day in distress, I put away my guitarEis que um dia de aflição, guardei meu violão
And I told my Lord that I'm not going to play anymoreE falei pro meu Senhor, que não vou mais tocar
Because the trial in my life only made me cryPois a prova na minha vida, só me fazia chorar
I put away my guitar; I never want to play againEu guardei o meu violão, nunca mais quero tocar

I sat down on a step and began to lamentMe assentei numa escada, e comecei a lamentar
Suddenly, I didn't understand, a man dressed in white approachedDe repente, não entendi, um varão de branco se aproximar
He brought a white guitar with gold strings to make me cryEle trazia um violão branco com cordas de ouro pra fazer eu chorar

Golden strings gleamingCordas de ouro a brilhar
The guitar was fit for a kingO violão era de rei
But I couldn't playMas eu não podia tocar
It wasn't mine, I know that very wellNão era o meu, eu bem sei
Golden strings gleamingCordas de ouro a brilhar
The guitar was fit for a kingO violão era de rei
But I couldn't playMas eu não podia tocar
It wasn't mine, I know that very wellNão era o meu, eu bem sei
Ah, ah, ahAh, ah, ah

And he talked about my life, everything I was going to go throughE falou da minha vida, tudo o que eu ia passar
That in three months God was going to give me the promiseQue dali a três meses a promessa Deus ia me dar
Guitar player, be humble, so that you may enter heavenVioleiro seja humilde, pra no céu você entrar
Your mission here on this earth is to make sure no one criesSua missão aqui nesta terra é fazer ninguém chorar
Be humble wherever you go so that God may bless youSeja humilde a onde tocar pra Deus te abençoar

I don't know the name of that angelEu não sei o nome desse anjo
But one thing I can sayMas uma coisa eu posso falar
That he was carrying a white guitarQue ele trazia um violão branco
With golden strings, to make you cryCom cordas de ouro, pra fazer chorar

Golden strings gleamingCordas de ouro a brilhar
The guitar was fit for a kingO violão era de rei
But I couldn't playMas eu não podia tocar
It wasn't mine, I know that very wellNão era o meu, eu bem sei
Golden strings gleamingCordas de ouro a brilhar
The guitar was fit for a kingO violão era de rei
But I couldn't playMas eu não podia tocar
It wasn't mine, I know that very wellNão era o meu, eu bem sei
Ah, ah, ahAh, ah, ah

And he went up, and left, and I did not see him play againE subiu, e partiu, e eu não vi mais ele tocar
But he promised meMas ele me prometeu
That one day he would returnQue um dia ele iria voltar
And wherever I was, I would always rememberE aonde eu estivesse sempre iria me lembrar
That he was carrying a white guitarQue ele trazia um violão branco
With golden strings, to make me cryCom cordas de ouro, pra fazer eu chorar

Golden strings gleamingCordas de ouro a brilhar
The guitar was fit for a kingO violão era de rei
But I couldn't playMas eu não podia tocar
It wasn't mine, I know that very wellNão era o meu, eu bem sei
Golden strings gleamingCordas de ouro a brilhar
The guitar was fit for a kingO violão era de rei
But I couldn't playMas eu não podia tocar
Not mine, I know that very wellNão o meu, eu bem sei
It wasn't mine, I know that very wellNão era o meu, eu bem sei
It wasn't mine, I know that very wellNão era meu, eu bem sei
