Marks of Pain

Shirley Carvalhaes

Marcas da Dor

A cruz no chão
Ao seu lado, um carrasco e o martelo na mão
Olhando os pregos e a multidão
Sentiu grande vazio no seu coração

Pegaram o mestre, deitaram sobre a cruz
Abriram seus braços, não viram sua luz
Juntaram seus pés, chamaram o carrasco
Ele se achegou, e ao lado do mestre, se agachou

E o martelo subiu, subiu, subiu
Sobre os pregos desceu, desceu, desceu
E bateu, bateu, bateu, bateu, bateu

Ergueram a cruz
Lá estava pregado, do mundo a luz
Nenhum gemido sequer soltou
Todos viram em seu rosto a marca da dor
Seu sangue jorrando, batendo no chão
Viu em todos os homens a ingratidão

Mas não se irou
Pediu ao pai perdão, e o pai perdoou
Recebeu seu espírito e chorou

Sua cabeça tombou, tombou, tombou
Sobre o peito caiu, caiu, caiu
E morreu, morreu, morreu, morreu, morreu

Tudo em silêncio
Nem as aves cantavam, nenhum som se ouvia
Maria olhou a tumba vazia
E ninguém se lembrou que era o terceiro dia
A tampa do túmulo estava caída
Meu mestre já tinha voltado à vida

Onde está o meu mestre, gritava Maria, quem o escondeu?
E uma voz conhecida se fez ouvir
Quem procuras, Maria? Eis-me aqui, eis-me aqui
Ao teu lado estou, estou, estou
Estou vivo, estou vivo, estou vivo, estou vivo, vivo estou
Estou vivo, estou vivo, estou vivo, estou vivo, vivo estou, vivo estou

Marks of Pain

The cross on the ground
By your side, an executioner with a hammer in hand
Looking at the nails and the crowd
He felt a great emptiness in his heart

They took the master, laid him on the cross
Opened his arms, didn't see his light
Joined his feet, called the executioner
He approached, and next to the master, he crouched

And the hammer went up, up, up
Descended on the nails, down, down, down
And struck, struck, struck, struck, struck

They raised the cross
There he was nailed, the world's light
Not a single groan escaped
Everyone saw in his face the mark of pain
His blood flowing, hitting the ground
He saw ingratitude in all men

But he did not get angry
He asked the father for forgiveness, and the father forgave
Received his spirit and wept

His head fell, fell, fell
Onto his chest it fell, fell, fell
And he died, died, died, died, died

All in silence
Not even the birds sang, no sound was heard
Mary looked at the empty tomb
And no one remembered it was the third day
The tomb's lid was fallen
My master had already come back to life

Where is my master, Mary cried, who hid him?
And a familiar voice was heard
Whom are you seeking, Mary? Here I am, here I am
I am by your side, I am, I am
I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, I am alive
I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, I am alive
