Candeia

Candle, candle, candle...

I will tell you
What a candle is (3x).
It's a small vessel
With olive oil,
It has a spout like a kettle,
From which a little cord comes out.
Setting fire to the cord,
The oil will burn,
And as long as there is oil,
Everything will light up.

It was Jesus who taught what
Being a candle is (3x).

It's a candle, it's a candle,
And a candle must illuminate,
Must shine,
Must show in
Works what it does,
So that men exalt
God who does everything.

Jesus said that the eye
Is the light of our body.
If the eye is bad,
The body is bad.
If the eye is good,
The body is good.
Pay attention,
What light do you have
In your heart?
Because the one who is good
Inside, will shine.

It's no use reading the Bible
And not being a candle
It's no use giving an offering
And not being a candle
It's no use going to church
And not being a candle.

Pray and watch, my brother,
The night is very long.
Put oil in the candle.
Stay alert,
Don't let it go out.
The day will come,
The sun will rise,
Jesus will return,
The bride who prepared
The candle, will marry.

It's no use reading the Bible
And not being a candle
It's no use giving an offering
And not being a candle
It's no use going to church
And not being a candle.

I have told you
What being a candle is.
