Cante Na Prisão
Isaac Nascimento
Sing In Prison
Today I woke up, sat down, picked up my guitar
In communion, I began to play this song
I didn't understand what was happening
It was the Lord already enveloping me
He knew that today I would be here
Announcing that it's time for you to smile
Wipe away the tears and stop lamenting
Your life, God will turn the page
For weeping lasts for a night
But tomorrow joy comes with victory
An angel will come every day to cheer you up
With good news and new hymns for you to sing
He will prove that he is your friend
In your battle and in your tears, he is with you
God is with you
Oh, do not fear, my brother, God has already announced
And what he started, he will finish
Oh, keep the 22 because I am with you
Oh, trust in the word, I am your friend
Today the doors of prisons God came to release
For the smoldering wick cannot be extinguished
There is no obstacle in front of you that stops you, brother
Do as Paul and Silas, sing in prison
Sing in prison, sing a song
