Palms Of Victory

Palmas da Vitória

Palms Of Victory

Eu vi o viajante perdido, com roupas esfarrapadas,I saw the wayward traveler, in garments tattered clad,
E subindo a montanha, parecia que estava triste.And traveling up the Mountain, it seemed that he was sad.
Suas costas estavam pesadas, sua força quase se foi,His back was laden heavy, his strength was almost gone,
Mas ele gritava enquanto caminhava, a libertação vai chegar.But he shouted as he journeyed, deliver ance will come.

Refrão: Então palmas da vitória, coroas de glória,Chorus: Then palms of victory, crowns of glory,
Palmas da vitória eu vou usar.Palms of victory I shall wear.

O sol de verão brilhava, o suor escorria na testa,The summer sun was shining, the sweat was on his brow,
Suas roupas gastas e empoeiradas, seu passo parecia lento.His garments worn and dusty, his step seemed very slow.
Mas ele continuou avançando, pois estava voltando pra casa,But he kept pressing onward, for he was wending home,
Ainda gritando enquanto caminhava, a libertação vai chegar.Still shouting as he journeyed, deliverance will come.

Os cantores na arborizada, que estavam ao lado do caminho,The songsters in the arbor, that stood beside the way,
Chamaram sua atenção, convidaram sua pausa.Attracted his attention, invited his delay.
Seu lema era Avante, ele tapou os ouvidos e correu,His watchword being Onwards, he stopped his ears and ran,
E gritou enquanto caminhava, a libertação vai chegar.And shouted as he journeyed, deliverance will come.

Eu o vi ao entardecer, o sol estava se pondo,I saw him in the evening, the sun was getting low,
Ele havia superado a montanha, e alcançado o vale abaixo.He had overtopped the mounting, and reached the vale below.
Ele viu a cidade dourada, seu lar eterno,He saw the golden city, his everlasting home,
E gritou hosana, a libertação vai chegar.And shouted hosanna, deliverance will come.

Enquanto olhava para a cidade, além do estreito rio,While gazing on the city, just o'er the narrow flood,
Um grupo de anjos santos veio do trono de Deus,A band of holy angels came from the throne of God,
Eles o levaram em suas asas, seguros sobre a espuma agitada,They bore him on their pinions safe o'er the dashing foam,
E se juntaram a ele em seu triunfo, a libertação chegou.And joined him in his triumph, Deliverance has come
