Pôr do Sol Em Emaús
ICME - Instituto das Comunidades Missionárias de Emaús
Sunset in Emmaus
Adorned like this by the setting sun
You would simply be
A village in Israel
But there you prepared a certain table
To be, I'm sure
My destiny and my peace
Emmaus, Emmaus ready and welcoming table
Strong, abundant and fertile table
Bread broken to unite hearts
Emmaus, Emmaus where souls in pieces
Always find joy
At the moment when Christ breaks the bread
In the bitterness of remote pains
My solace is in you
Just remembering your image
Your freshness and your breeze
Give me strength to go on
Emmaus, Emmaus ready and welcoming table
Strong, abundant and fertile table
Bread broken to unite hearts
Emmaus, Emmaus where souls in pieces
Always find joy
At the moment when Christ breaks the bread
When nightfall approaches
I want to be well prepared
To say to my Lord
See, the afternoon is falling, the sun is setting
Come Jesus, stay with me
And teach me to be love
Emmaus, Emmaus ready and welcoming table
Strong, abundant and fertile table
Bread broken to unite hearts
Emmaus, Emmaus where souls in pieces
Always find joy
At the moment when Christ breaks the bread
Today my soul is in celebration
There is no table like this
There is always bread to be broken
My soul is that village
My love the inn
Emmaus, finally, is me
Emmaus, Emmaus ready and welcoming table
Strong, abundant and fertile table
Bread broken to unite hearts
Emmaus, Emmaus where souls in pieces
Always find joy
At the moment when Christ breaks the bread
