A Casa do Oleiro
Chagas Sobrinho
The Potter's House
I went to the potter's house to see him work
I arrived just in time for the potter to start
He began making a vase and the vase broke
He mixed it with clay and started again
(Chorus)
Mixes water with clay, steps here and there
Takes the clay and puts it on the wheel, makes the wheel turn
Takes the vase, puts it in the oven, puts the fire to burn
The most beautiful thing in the world is to see the potter work
An old vase can't hold the oil without leaking
A crack in a clay pot is no good for fixing
In this case, the potter has to make a renewal
He breaks the old vase to make a new one
(Chorus)
The potter is the Lord and the clay is the believer
The oil is the spirit that fills our lives
The wheel is our life, the fire is to test us
Go to the potter's house and see Him work
(Chorus)
