You Are (1981)

És (1981)

You are the dew that nourishes a roseÉs o orvalho que nutre uma rosa
You are the rose that beautifies the gardenÉs a rosa que enfeita o jardim
You are the garden that decorates the meadowÉs jardim que ornamenta a campina
You are the endless radiant fieldÉs o campo radioso sem fim

You are a ray of light in the shadowsÉs um raio de luz dentre as sombras
You are a soft and faithful carpetÉs alfombra suave e fiel
You are the blue mantle of spaceÉs o manto azulado do espaço
You are the arm that connects me to the skyÉs o braço que me une ao céu

You are the ideal dream of poetryÉs o sonho ideal da poesia
That shines in the rhyme of the verseQue irradia na rima do verso
In the purity of my everyday lifeNa candura do meu dia a dia
The total secret of the universeO segredo total do universo

You are the cradle that rocks the newborn childÉs o berço que embala a criança que nasce
You are the joyful face of the redeemed soulÉs a face alegre da alma remida
You are the step towards the eternal ascentÉs degrau para a eterna subida
You are life, my GodÉs a vida, meu Deus
You are lifeÉs a vida

You are the bridge that lies over the abyssÉs a ponte que jaz sobre o abismo
You are the source of the springsÉs a fonte dos mananciais
You are the sweet murmur of the watersÉs o doce marulho das águas
In the desert, you are a haven of peaceNo deserto, és recanto de paz

You who reign above deathTu que reinas acima da morte
You are the strength that supports the crossÉs o forte que sustenta a cruz
You are the north that guides the childÉs o norte que orienta o filho
You are the sparkle in Jesus's eyesÉs o brilho no olhar de Jesus

You are the ideal dream of poetryÉs o sonho ideal da poesia
That shines in the rhyme of the verseQue irradia na rima do verso
In the purity of my everyday lifeNa candura do meu dia a dia
The total secret of the universeO segredo total do universo

You are the cradle that rocks the newborn childÉs o berço que embala a criança que nasce
You are the joyful face of the redeemed soulÉs a face alegre da alma remida
You are the step towards the eternal ascentÉs degrau para a eterna subida
You are life, my GodÉs a vida, meu Deus
You are lifeÉs a vida
