Um Certo Galileu

One day, by the sea
A young Galilean appeared
No one could imagine
That someone could love the way he loved
Your simple way of chatting
It touched the hearts of those who listened to it

And his name was Jesus of Nazareth
His fame spread and everyone came to see
The phenomenon of the young preacher
That had so much love

On those beaches, in that sea
On that river, in Zacchaeus' house
On that road, in that sun
And the people listening to such beautiful stories
Your friendly way of expressing yourself
It filled my heart with such infinite peace

And his name was Jesus of Nazareth
His fame spread and everyone came to see
The phenomenon of the young preacher
That had so much love

In the middle of the street, on that floor
At that well and in Simon's house
On that grass, in the evening
The world saw the birth of peace and hope
Your pure way of forgiving
It made my heart feel like a child again

And his name was Jesus of Nazareth
His fame spread and everyone came to see
The phenomenon of the young preacher
That had so much love

One day, in court
Someone took the young Galilean
No one knew what the harm was
The crime he did, what were his sins
Your honest way of reporting
It affected the position of some privileged people

And they killed Jesus of Nazareth
And in the midst of thieves they placed their cross
But the world is still afraid of Jesus
That had so much love

Victorious, resurrected
After three days, he returned to life
Resurrected, no longer dies
He is with the Father, because He is the eternal son
But he lives in every home
And where to find a fraternal heart

We proclaim that Jesus of Nazareth
Glorious and triumphant God is with us
He is the Christ and the reason for our faith
And one day he will return!
