Paroles et traduction Cassiane - O Exilado

O Exilado

Da linda pátria estou bem longe
Cansado estou
Eu tenho de Jesus saudade
Oh, quando é que vou?
Passarinhos, belas flores
Querem me encantar
São vãos terrestres esplendores
Mas contemplo o meu lar
Jesus me deu sua promessa
Me vem buscar
Meu coração está com pressa
Eu quero já voar
Meus pecados foram muitos
Mui culpado sou
Porém, seu sangue põe-me limpo
Eu para pátria vou
Qual filho de seu lar saudoso
Eu quero ir, qual passarinho para o ninho
Pra os braços seus fugir
É fiel! Sua vinda é certa
Quando, eu não sei
Mas ele manda estar alerta
Do exílio voltarei
Sua vinda aguardo eu cantando
Meu lar é o céu
Seus passos hei de ouvir soando
Além do escuro véu
Passarinhos, belas flores
Querem me encantar
São vãos terrestres esplendores
Mas contemplo o meu lar
Mas contemplo o meu lar
Mas contemplo o meu lar

The Exile

Far away from my beautiful country,
I am so exhausted.
I miss Jesus with all my heart.
Oh, when will I go?
Birds and beautiful flowers,
You try to enchant me,
But Earth's splendors are in vain,
For I am looking towards my home.
Jesus promised that he would come get me,
To take me away,
My heart is in a hurry,
I want to fly there now.
My sins were numerous;
I am filled with guilt.
But his blood cleanses me,
And I am going home.
Like a son who longs for his home,
I want to go, like a bird to its nest,
To flee into his arms.
He is faithful! His coming is certain,
I do not know when,
But he commands me to be alert,
And I will return from exile.
As I wait for his coming, I sing,
My home is heaven,
I will hear his footsteps sounding,
Beyond the dark veil.
Birds and beautiful flowers,
You try to enchant me,
But Earth's splendors are in vain,
For I am looking towards my home.
For I am looking towards my home.
For I am looking towards my home.
