The Wayworn Traveler

O Viajante Cansado

The Wayworn Traveler

Eu vi um viajante cansado, vestido em trapos surrados,I saw a wayworn traveler in tattered garments clad,
E lutando na montanha, parecia que estava triste.And struggling up the mountain, it seemed that he was sad.
Suas costas pesadas, sua força quase se foi,His back was laden heavy, his strength was almost gone,
Ele gritava enquanto caminhava, 'A libertação vai chegar!'It shouted as he journeyed, ''Deliverance will come!"

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

O sol de verão brilhava, o suor escorria na sua 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 indo 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!"

RefrãoChorus

A cantora no pomar, que estava ao lado do caminho,The songstress in the arbor, that stood beside the way,
Chamou sua atenção, convidando-o a parar.Attracted his attention, inviting his delay.
Com a palavra de ordem 'Avante!' ele tapou os ouvidos e correu,His watchword being "Onward!" he stopped his ears and ran,
Ainda gritando enquanto caminhava, 'A libertação vai chegar!'Still shouting as he journeyed, ''Deliverance will come!"

RefrãoChorus

Enquanto olhava para aquela cidade, além daquele estreito rio,While gazing on that city, just o'er that 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, atravessando a espuma,They bore him on their pinions, they bore the dashing foam,
E se juntaram a ele em seu triunfo, 'A libertação chegou!'And joined him in his triumph, "Deliverance has come!"

RefrãoChorus
