Текст и перевод песни Álvaro Tito - Bartimeu

Bartimeu

A Bíblia traz-nos um relato edificante
De um milagre importante que Jesus realizou
Um pobre cego de nascença, Bartimeu
Que tinha por pai Timeu, com o Cristo encontrou
E Bartimeu, que no caminho mendigava
Vendo que Jesus passava com ruidosa multidão
Não se deteve, em alta voz clamava:
"Ó bom filho de Davi, de mim tenha compaixão"

Alguns da multidão que a Cristo rodeava
Achando que perturbava do mendigo o clamor
Aproximaram-se dizendo:
"Bartimeu, será que tu não sentes que perturbas o Senhor?"
E Bartimeu, que mesmo sendo repreendido
Insistiu em seu pedido, para Cristo o curar
Reanimou-se quando alguém lhe segredou:
"Tem bom ânimo Bartimeu, Cristo mandou te chamar"

Ah, filho de Davi, de mim tem misericórdia
Mesmo havendo discórdia por eu te clamar assim
Mas um pobre cego eu sou, que a luz espera ver
Sei que em te há poder para visão trazer a mim

E Bartimeu abandonando seu abrigo
Uma capa que consigo carregava fez cair
Foi ao encontro de Jesus, que o chamava
Pois a muito anelava essa graça lhe pedir
E Jesus vendo que o cego aproximava
Quiz sentir se o perturbava, lhe fez a interrogação:
"O que tu queres que eu te faça Bartimeu?"
E o cego respondeu:
"Da-me agora a visão"

E o bom Mestre como sempre atendendo
Ao pedido foi dizendo:
"Vai, tua fé te salvou"
E aquele homem, que antes cego, agora via
Saltava de alegria ante aquele que o curou
E Bartimeu não resistiu aquele ensejo
Pois não mais tinha desejo de voltar ao seu lugar
Mas ao bom mestre de seguir pelo caminho
Perto dele, bem juntinho, até a glória alcançar

Ah, filho de Davi, de mim tem misericórdia
Mesmo havendo discórdia por eu te clamar assim
Mas um pobre cego eu sou, que a luz espera ver
Sei que em te há poder para visão trazer a mim

Sei que em te há poder para visão trazer a mim
Sei que em te há poder para visão trazer a mim
Sei que em te há poder para visão trazer a mim

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Sei que em te há poder para visão trazer a mim

Bartimaeus

The Bible tells us an uplifting story
Of an important miracle that Jesus performed
A poor man who was blind from birth, Bartimaeus
Whose father was Timaeus, met with Christ
And Bartimaeus, who begged on the road
Saw that Jesus was passing with a noisy crowd
He did not stop but called out in a loud voice:
"Oh good son of David, have compassion on me."

Some of the crowd surrounding Christ
Thinking that the beggar was disturbing the Lord
Approached him and said:
"Bartimaeus, don't you feel that you're disturbing the Lord?"
And Bartimaeus, who even when rebuked
Persisted in his request, for Christ to heal him
Was revived when someone whispered to him:
"Be of good cheer Bartimaeus, Christ has bid you to be called."

Oh, son of David, have mercy on me
Even though there is discord because I cry out to you like this
But I am a poor blind man, who hopes to see the light
I know that in you there is power to bring vision to me

And Bartimaeus, abandoning his shelter
A cloak that he carried with him, he dropped
Went to meet Jesus, who called him
For he had long yearned to ask him for this grace
And Jesus seeing that the blind man was approaching
Wanted to feel if he was disturbing him, and asked him:
"What do you want me to do for you Bartimaeus?"
And the blind man replied:
"Give me back my sight."

And the good Master, as always, attending
To the request, went saying:
"Go, your faith has saved you"
And that man, who was once blind, now could see
Leapt for joy before the one who had healed him
And Bartimaeus could not resist that opportunity
For he no longer had the desire to return to his place
But to follow the good master along the path
Close to him, very close, until he reach glory

Oh, son of David, have mercy on me
Even though there is discord because I cry out to you like this
But I am a poor blind man, who hopes to see the light
I know that in you there is power to bring vision to me

I know that in you there is power to bring vision to me
I know that in you there is power to bring vision to me
I know that in you there is power to bring vision to me

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I know that in you there is power to bring vision to me
