Hand Song

Canção das Mãos

Hand Song

O menino só queria dar algo à mãeThe boy only wanted to give him mother something
E todas as suas rosas tinham florescidoAnd all of her roses had bloomed
Olhando pra ele enquanto ele corria com elasLooking at him as he came rushing with them
Sabendo que suas rosas estavam condenadasKnowing her roses were doomed
Tudo que ela podia ver eram os espinhos enterrados fundoAll she could see were the thorns buried deep
Com lágrimas nos olhos enquanto ela cuidava de suas feridasWith tears in his eyes as she tended his wounds

REFRÃO:CHORUS:
Mas ela sabia que era amorBut she knew it was love
Era um amor que ela podia entenderIt was one she could understand
Ele estava mostrando seu amorHe was showing his love
E foi assim que ele machucou as mãosAnd that's how he hurt his hands

Ele ainda se lembra daquela noite quando era criançaHe still remembers that night as a child
No colo da mãeOn his mother's knee
Apertando-o perto enquanto ela abria a BíbliaHolding him close as she opened her Bible
E começava a ler em voz baixaAnd quietly started to read
Então, ao ver uma imagem de Jesus, ele chorouThen seeing a picture of Jesus he cried
"Mamãe, Ele tem algumas cicatrizes como eu!""Mama, He's got some scars just like me!"

REFRÃO:CHORUS:
E ele sabia que era amorAnd he knew it was love
Era um amor que ele podia entenderIt was one he could understand
Ele estava mostrando seu amorHe was showing his love
E foi assim que ele machucou as mãosAnd that's how he hurt his hands

Agora, o menino cresceu e saiu de casaNow, the boy's grown and moved out on his own
Quando o Tio Sam apareceuWhen Uncle Sam comes along
Um caso no exterior, mas nossos jovens estavam láA foreign affair, but our young men were there
E a sorte tinha seu número sorteadoAnd luck had his number drawn
Não demorou muito até que nosso herói partisseIt wasn't long 'til our hero was gone
Ele deu a um amigo o que aprendeu na cruzHe gave to a friend what he learned from the cross

REFRÃO:CHORUS:
E eles sabiam que era amorAnd they knew it was love
Era um amor que eles podiam entenderIt was one they could understand
Ele estava mostrando seu amorHe was showing his love
E foi assim que ele machucou as mãosAnd that's how he hurt his hands
