Eram Cem Ovelhas

There Were One Hundred Sheep

Eram Cem Ovelhas

There were one hundred sheep together in the foldEram cem ovelhas juntas no aprisco
There were one hundred sheep that the shepherd cared forEram cem ovelhas que o pastor cuidou
But one afternoon when counting them allPorém numa tarde ao contá-las 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 foldAs noventa e nove deixou no aprisco
And went to search for her through the mountainsE pelas montanhas a buscá-la foi
He found her moaning, trembling with coldA encontrou gemendo tremendo de frio
He healed her wounds, put her on his shouldersCurou suas feridas colocou-a em seus ombros
And returned to the foldE ao redil voltou

This same story repeats itselfEssa mesma história torna a repetir-se
For many lost sheep are still out therePois muitas ovelhas perdidas estão
But even today the beloved shepherdMas ainda hoje o pastor amado
Heals their wounds, heals their woundsCura suas feridas cura suas feridas
And grants them forgivenessE lhes dá perdão

He left the ninety-nine in the foldAs noventa e nove deixou no aprisco
And went to search for her through the mountainsE pelas montanhas a buscá-la foi
He found her moaning, trembling with coldA encontrou gemendo tremendo de frio
He healed her wounds, put her on his shouldersCurou suas feridas colocou-a em seus ombros
And returned to the foldE ao redil voltou
