Lyrics and translation Quarteto Gileade - Jonas

Jonas

Oh! Jonas
Oh! Jonas
Vai à Ninive vai Jonas

Deus falou assim a Jonas
Vai à Ninive pregar
Se escondeu da face do Senhor
E para Tarcis foi
Tomando o navio as águas se agitaram
A culpa era de Jonas, o lançaram ao mar

Oh! Jonas
Oh! Jonas, onde estás
Oh! Jonas
Nínive
A Nínive então não foi Jonas
Está no fundo do mar

O Senhor preparou um grande peixe
Pra que a Jonas pudesse
Tragar, e logo estava Jonas
No ventre do peixe, então ele se
Arrependeu, humilhado clamou a Deus
Colocado para fora foi fazer
O que Deus mandou

Foi Jonas, foi Jonas, foi à Nínive, foi Jonas
Nínive
À Nínive agora foi Jonas
Foi falar de Deus

Oh! Jonas
Oh! Jonas, foi a Nínive, foi Jonas
Nínive, Nínive
Foi à Ninive sim foi

Jonah

Oh! Jonah
Oh! Jonah
Go to Nineveh, o Jonah

God said to Jonah
Go to Nineveh and preach
He hid from the Lord's face
And to Tarshish he went
Taking ship the waters became tumultuous
The fault was Jonah's, they threw him into the sea

Oh! Jonah
Oh! Jonah, where are you
Oh! Jonah
Nineveh
To Nineveh then Jonah did not go
Is at the bottom of the sea

The Lord prepared a great fish
So that Jonah could
Swallow, and soon there was Jonah
In the belly of the fish, then he
Repented, humbled himself and cried out to God
Put out, he went to do
What God commanded

It was Jonah, it was Jonah, he went to Nineveh, it was Jonah
Nineveh
To Nineveh now it was Jonah
He went to speak of God

Oh! Jonah
Oh! Jonah, went to Nineveh, it was Jonah
Nineveh, Nineveh
He went to Nineveh, yes he did
