Tarde Te Amei

Late I Loved You

Tarde Te Amei

I entered my innermost beingEntrei no meu íntimo
Under Your guidance, and I succeededSob Tua guia, e o consegui
Because You became my helpPorque Tu te fizeste meu auxílio

I entered and saw with the eyes of my heartEntrei e vi com os olhos do coração
The unchanging, strong, and shining lightA luz imutável, forte e brilhante
Whoever knows the truthQuem conhece a verdade
Knows this lightConhece esta luz

Oh, eternal truthÓ, eterna verdade
True charityVerdadeira caridade
You Are my GodTu És o meu Deus

For You I sigh day and nightPor Ti suspiro dia e noite
Since I met YouDesde que Te conheci
And You showed me who You wereE mostraste-me então quem Eras
You radiated Your strength over meIrradiaste sobre mim a Tua força
Giving me Your loveDando-me o Teu amor

Late I loved You, late I loved YouTarde Te amei, tarde Te amei
Oh, Beauty so ancient and so newÓ, Beleza tão antiga e tão nova
There You were inside and I was outsideEis que Estavas dentro e eu fora
And I was outsideE eu fora

Things held me away from YouSeguravam-me longe de Ti as coisas
That would only exist in YouQue não existiriam senão em Ti
You were with me and I was not with YouEstavas comigo e não eu contigo
And I was not with YouE não eu contigo

You called, cried out for meChamaste, clamaste por mim
And chased away my deafnessE afugentaste minha surdez
You shone, radiated over meBrilhaste, resplandeceste sobre mim
Casting away my darknessLançando para longe minha escuridão
You exhaled fragrance and I breathed it inExalaste perfume e respirei

You touched me and I burned for Your peaceTocaste-me e ardi por Tua paz
I burned for Your peaceArdi por Tua paz
I burned for Your peaceArdi por Tua paz
