Olhando o Céu

Looking at the Sky

Olhando o Céu

Looking at the sky, immense blueOlhando o céu, imenso azul
Coming from the south I see passingVindas do sul vejo passando
Pilgrim floating cloudsPeregrinas nuvens flutuantes
Playing, perhapsA brincar, talvez

Coming from beyond, by the seasideVindas de além, à beira-mar
I see waves breakingVejo chegar ondas quebrando
And in a veil of sparkling foamE num véu de espumas cintilantes
They come to kiss my feetVêm beijar-me os pés

Time, earth, sea, and skiesO tempo, a terra, o mar e os céus
Will slowly passAos poucos passarão
But the words of the LordMas as palavras do Senhor
Will never fade awayJamais se apagarão

And looking at the sky from somewhereE olhando o céu de algum lugar
I think of that dayFico a pensar naquele dia
When on floating cloudsQuando sobre nuvens flutuantes
My Jesus will returnMeu Jesus voltar
