Cem Ovelhas

One Hundred Sheep

Cem Ovelhas

There were a hundred sheep together in a foldEram cem ovelhas juntas num aprisco
There were a hundred sheep that the shepherd cared forEram cem ovelhas que o pastor ciudou
But one afternoon when counting them allPorem numa tarde ao conta-lás todas
One was missing, one was missingLhe faltava uma lhe faltava uma
And sadly he criedE triste chorou
He left the ninety-nine in the foldQs noventa e nove deixou no aprisco
And went to search for them through the mountainsE pelas montanhas a busca-las foi
He found one whimpering, trembling with coldA encontrou gemendo tremendo de frio
He anointed its woundsUngiu suas feridas
Took it in his armsTomou em seus braços
And returned to the foldE ao redil voltou
This same story repeats itselfEsta mesma historia volta a repetir-se
With every lost sheepCom toda ovelha que perdida esta
Wandering in the world without peaceVagando no mundo sem paz
Without comfort without God without comfortSem consolo sem deus sem consolo
And without his forgivenessE sem seu perdão
