Little Moses

Pequeno Moisés

Little Moses

À beira do rio tão claroAway by the river so clear
As moças se encaminhavamThe ladies were winding their way
E a filha do faraóAnd Pharaoh's little daughter
Desceu na águaStepped down in the water
Para se banhar no frescor do diaTo bathe in the cool of the day

Antes que escurecesse, ela abriu a arcaBefore it was dark she opened the ark
E encontrou o doce bebê láAnd found the sweet infant was there
Antes que escurecesse, ela abriu a arcaBefore it was dark she opened the ark
E encontrou o doce bebê láAnd found the sweet infant was there

E à beira da água tão azulAnd away by the water so blue
O bebê estava sozinho e tristeThe infant was lonely and sad
Ela o pegou com pena e achou ele tão lindoShe took him in pity and thought him so pretty
E isso deixou o pequeno Moisés tão felizAnd it made little Moses so glad

Ela o chamou de seu, seu lindo filhoShe called him her own, her beautiful son
E mandou chamar uma ama que estava pertoAnd sent for a nurse that was near
Ela o chamou de seu, seu lindo filhoShe called him her own, her beautiful son
E mandou chamar uma ama que estava pertoAnd sent for a nurse that was near

E à beira do rio tão claroAnd away by the river so clear
Carregaram a linda criançaThey carried the beautiful child
Para sua própria mãe carinhosa, sua irmã e irmãoTo his own tender mother, his sister and brother
O pequeno Moisés parecia feliz e sorriuLittle Moses looked happy and smiled

Sua mãe tão boa fez tudo que pôdeHis mother so good done all that she could
Para criá-lo e ensiná-lo com cuidadoTo rear him and teach him with care
Sua mãe tão boa fez tudo que pôdeHis mother so good done all that she could
Para criá-lo e ensiná-lo com cuidadoTo rear him and teach him with care

E à beira do mar que era vermelhoAnd away by the sea that was red
O pequeno Moisés, o servo de DeusLittle Moses, the servant of God
Enquanto nele confiava, o mar se dividiaWhile in him confided the sea was divided
Enquanto ele levantava sua varaAs upward he lifted his rod

Os judeus podiam atravessar enquanto o exército de faraóThe Jews they could cross while Pharaoh's host
Afundava na água e se perdiaWas drownded in the water and lost
Os judeus podiam atravessar enquanto o exército de faraóThe Jews they could cross while Pharaoh's host
Afundava na água e se perdiaWas drownded in the water and lost

E lá no alto da montanhaAnd away on the mountain so high
O último que poderia serThe last one that ever might be
Enquanto em sua vitóriaWhile in his victorious
Sua esperança era mais gloriosaHis hope was most glorious
Logo ele estaria livre além do JordãoHe'd soon over the Jordan be free

Quando seus trabalhos cessaramWhen his labors did cease
Ele partiu em pazHe parted in peace
E descansou nos céus acimaAnd rested in the heavens above
Quando seus trabalhos cessaramWhen his labors did cease
Ele partiu em pazHe parted in peace
E descansou nos céus acimaAnd rested in the heavens above
