Nova Luz

New Light

Nova Luz

The Word of God has arrived!A Palavra de Deus já chegou!
New light shone for the peopleNova luz clareou para o povo
When the Holy Bible openedQuando a Bíblia Sagrada se abriu
Every poor person saw a new world!Todo pobre já viu mundo novo!

Those who were scattered came togetherQuem andava espalhado se juntou
Those who lived as blind could seeQuem vivia como cego enxergou
Everywhere communities have emergedPor todo canto já nasceu comunidade
And on the path of truthE no caminho da verdade
Many have already enteredMuita gente já entrou

Those who were exploited protestedQuem vivia explorado protestou
Those who were silent out of fear have shoutedQuem calava só por medo já gritou
Everywhere the small ones are coming togetherPor todo canto os pequenos vão se unindo
Freedom is emergingA liberdade vai surgindo
And every old person has been renewedE todo velho renovou

The seed of the Word has spreadA semente da Palavra se espalhou
Fell in the field-heart-of-a-farmerCaiu no campo-coração-de-lavrador
In the slum the seed sproutedPela favela a semente germinou
And in the harvestE na colheita
There will be a celebration, my Lord!Vai ter festa, meu Senhor!
